Our Mechanical Engineering MEng is an integrated qualification that gives you the opportunity to study at masters level, providing a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering expertise as well as industrial and commercial insight.
Designed with input from industry experts and accrediting bodies, this course provides a solid foundation in mechanical engineering.Our Industrial Advisory Board contributes to the ongoing development of the programme, keeping it up-to-date and engaging.
Our lecturers are also active in their specialist research fields such as advanced fluids modelling, computer-aided engineering,thermal efficiency of propulsion systems and microgravity research with the European Space Agency.
You will undertake projects arising from and contributing to this research. Guest lecturers reinforce our strong industry links and provide networking opportunities. You will also work in interdisciplinary teams in design and engineering projects reflective of industry, developing your leadership, project management, teamwork, presentation and communication skills.

Course programme
Year 1
Through a shared first year with our automotive and aeronautical engineering courses, you will explore fundamental mechanical engineering topics.
A major design project, integrating practical and theoretical work, reinforces this learning.
Modules- Engineering Mathematics
In this module you will learn to apply mathematical concepts and software tools to solve engineering problems.
On completion you will be able to use analytical techniques and software tools to solve simple algebraic problems, develop mathematical models of engineering systems, and apply an appropriate analytical method, or software tool to solve a mathematical model.
- Engineering Practice
On this module you will develop your engineering skills using projects as the focus of your learning.
You will work on group projects, applying engineering skills such as reflection, organisation, planning, design, communication and planning. Concepts across a range of engineering specialisms will be introduced as part of a problem-based approach.
- Mechanical Design
This module introduces you to the principles of mechanical design and communicating engineering design intent. You will acquire skills in drawing and Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing software package such as SolidWorks, and basic concepts of mechanical design and machine components.
- Energy Systems
This module will provide you with an introduction to energy production, conversion, storage, conservation and coupling. This will be achieved utilising basic applied concepts relating to fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and engineering economics.
- Design Project
In this module teams of engineers have the task of designing and manufacturing a functional product. Each team member has to apply a range of engineering skills and knowledge to realise the design. You will gain experience of working within a team, planning and managing the design project.
- Materials and Manufacture
This module introduces you to materials and their properties, a range of manufacturing processes, and environmental considerations used to make components from various materials.
