Course programme
First and second years
During these years, a careful mix of lectures, practicals and case studies develops your understanding in:
- Mechanical engineering (engineering design, mechanics, modelling and mathematics)
- Professional skills (teamwork, communication and management)
- Materials (the properties, selection, processing, failure and protection of metals, polymers, ceramics and composites)
These are related to industries such as aerospace, automotive, sports, and power generation.
