Mechanical systems, mechanisms and machines lie at the heart of our traditional engineering industries. The skills and techniques associated with them continue to be essential. In recent years these have extended into the areas of precision engineering, nanotechnology, and mechatronics, as mechanical engineers have broadened their skill sets and embraced technologies from other disciplines to solve difficult problems.

You’ll have the chance to apply your new skills through projects at various points in the degree. Third year students undertake a major individual project to work on a specific problem in depth. For example: investigations into engine improvements; the fluid dynamics of exploding bubbles; and mass estimation using vision control.

Moving into the fourth year, projects become more collaborative. To many the final-year MEng project, such as the Formula Student racing car build, is seen as the culmination of all the degree elements.

About this course

Our courses take a multidisciplinary approach to engineering challenges. Led by experts in the School of Engineering and WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) we provide opportunities to learn from leading research in areas such as precision mechanics, fluid dynamics and sustainable thermal energy technology, as well as complementary areas in other fields of engineering. We also work with many of the country’s leading companies. This collaboration feeds back into our research, informs our teaching and helps us to keep our courses at the forefront of industrial best practice.

Our graduates have gone on to work for organisations including: Jaguar Land Rover, Barclays Bank, NHS Institute for Innovation, Aston Martin, Deutsche Bank.

Examples of our graduates’ job roles include: Business Systems Analyst, Graduate Civil Engineer, Aerodynamacist, Structural Engineer, Technology trader.

A level: AAA, including Mathematics and Physics .

IB: 38 points to include 6,6 in Mathematics and Physics. At least one of those subjects should be at Higher level.
