Duration
4 Years
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The MEng programme is similar to the BEng programme for the first two years and you can transfer between them up to the end of the second year if you satisfy certain performance criteria. Applying for a MEng initially helps keep your options open. The programme includes core mathematical, computing and mechanical engineering subjects. You will also study economics and accountancy. Your individual project in the third year will include a business element, but will primarily be concerned with engineering. The same structure is in place for the group design project in your final year.

About this course
Our top-quality laboratory and testing facilities include materials testing equipment, wind tunnels, two large wave tanks and an array of engine test cells. You will benefit from our internationally renowned research expertise as this cutting-edge knowledge is passed on to you through our teaching. Although not the primary objective, our programmes are proving extremely successful in training graduates for employment in the fields of commerce, banking and management consultancy. The programme is highly respected both within the UK and abroad.
The programme aims to equip you with the fundamental analytical and design skills necessary to become a professional mechanical engineer in your chosen field of employment; together with a sound knowledge of management, finance, and business administration subjects which are necessary for management and the commercial departments of engineering companies. Your career options can be in a variety of fields including aerospace, railways, motor vehicle design, manufacturing and medical engineering. The programme also equips you with the skills to secure a job in commerce, banking, and management consultancy. Our policy is to provide you with the opportunity to develop relationships with relevant employers, through links with industry and internships. This puts you at a considerable advantage when seeking employment after your degree.
English Language and Mathematics at grade C or 5, plus Physics at grade C or 5 if not offered at A level. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
The programmes are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) as meeting the academic base requirements, in full, for registration as a Chartered Engineer for the 2014-2021 student cohort intakes.
