About this course

Develop the skills to address 21st century engineering design challenges and contribute to the achievement of net zero by 2050, with our Mechanical Engineering degree at ARU Peterborough.

Why study at ARU Peterborough

  • Focus on sustainability, decarbonisation and net zero

  • Enhanced employability with industry defined skills development

  • Emphasis on engineering design

    As a graduate engineer, you'll spend your career involved in the challenge to achieve net zero by 2050. This course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to competently contribute to the realisation of this goal.

    From day one of the course, you'll work on real-world engineering projects. You'll look at technical problems through environmental, ethical, social and financial lenses, and use the maths and science knowledge and skills you've gained to solve them – the same approach you'll take in the workplace.

    You'll learn to address engineering design problems creatively and innovatively using the wide range of the digital tools that engineers use to simulate and analyse physical phenomena, as well as those used to support the design and manufacturing process.

    You'll become adept at communicating though a variety of media with fellow engineers and a range of stakeholders from technical and non-technical backgrounds, and develop team-working skills throughout your course.

    By the time you graduate, you'll be a well-rounded engineer with plenty of experience and expertise to offer potential employers.
