Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines which integrates with today's multi-disciplinary working environments. This course provides applicants with theoretical and practical skills which will enable them to translate science into real-world safer, better performing and higher value solutions, with an applied focus on computer-aided engineering, design and sustainability.

Upon completion there are a wide range of career opportunities open to you in design, manufacture, marketing, research, development and management across industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, energy and sciences.

Mechanical engineers are in demand across a vast range of industries, and our course will give you the broad range of modern engineering skills that are in demand by cutting-edge industries. In addition, there are opportunities to specialise in technical areas such as composite materials, advanced manufacturing processes, energy systems and advanced control systems through our research active academic team.

Our research-active staff and purpose-built laboratories will provide you with the learning support and research-informed teaching alongside excellent staff-student ratios needed to prepare our students for a career in engineering. Our links with industry and commerce – some of which are on site – may provide you with an opportunity for practical work experience. Opportunities for work-based learning are integrated into our course, allowing our students to interact with industry, apply their knowledge in a work setting, gain valuable work experience and begin to build their professional networks during their studies.
