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.

Year 1
  • Fundamentals of Materials Science - 20 credits
  • Design for Structural Applications - 20 credits
  • Non-crystalline Materials 1 - 20 credits
  • Mechanics 1 - 20 credits

Year 3

The third year advances your understanding of mechanical engineering whilst you gain specialist knowledge in the areas of materials that interest you most, such as aerospace, metals processing, ceramics, sports and or biomaterials. You also take part in an individual research project.

Core Modules:
  • Materials Research Project - 40 credits
  • Mechanical Design B - 20 credits
  • Integrated Design Project (BEng) - 20 credits
  • Advanced Failure Analysis and Characterisation - 20 credits
Optional Modules:

Choose 20 credits of optional modules. Example modules:

  • High-Performance Materials and Advanced Manufacturing - 20 credits
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis (CFD & FEA) - 20 credits

Please note: The modules listed on the website for this programme are regularly reviewed to ensure they are up-to-date and informed by the latest research and teaching methods. Unless indicated otherwise, the modules listed for this programme are for students starting in 2020. On rare occasions, we may need to make unexpected changes to core modules; in this event we will contact offer holders as soon as possible to inform or consult them as appropriate.
