This course prepares you to rapidly progress your career in an exciting, growing industry. Our course is aimed at both new graduates and industry professionals who wish to broaden and deepen their knowledge in a wide range of mechanical engineering subjects.
At present there is a nationwide shortage of skilled Mechanical Engineers, which means that the skills you develop on this course will be in high demand.
We’re home to world-class facilities for computational mechanics, tribology, surface engineering and additive manufacturing.
Our programme topics include computational mechanics, thermodynamics, materials technology, computer aided design, and engineering simulation.
Why study with us
- Our course has been developed specifically to address the growing industry demand in Mechanical Engineering.
- You’ll study in state-of-the-art facilities, including in our new £35 million Engineering Innovation Centre.
- We’ve a wide range of equipment – both at laboratory and industry scale, and computer modelling facilities.
What you’ll do
- As well as the technical side, this course prepares you for a career requiring high levels of judgement, team-working, leadership, initiative, delegation and decision-making responsibilities.
- We’re located within one of the most intense engineering and manufacturing areas in the UK. You’ll get to work on real-world projects with commercial partners.
- Develop your work experience by undertaking a professional placement as part of this course.

Course delivery
Following the pandemic, we have found that some courses benefit from a blended learning and teaching approach. Therefore, the majority of your teaching will be face-to-face on campus aside from a small amount of online teaching where we have learnt it works best.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or revisions to subject benchmarks statements. As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
Future careers
Mechanical Engineering could lead to a career in a wide range of industry sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy and railway industries.
You will have the opportunity to progress into a diverse range of careers in product design and development, computer modelling and simulation, materials engineering and manufacturing.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
