Combine numeracy with detailed subject knowledge and initiative to solve complex engineering problems that improve the world we live in.
About this course
Our course teaches you how to use physical science, mathematics and computing to assess engineering systems. You'll combine this with study in design and manufacturing processes to understand how modern industry works.
Your first two years give you a detailed understanding of mechanical engineering. You’ll learn how to incorporate design into the science, manufacturing and management elements of engineering. You can apply this knowledge to analyse, build and test a product from scratch.
At Bath, practical project work is central to your study experience. Group and individual projects are a chance for you to put theory into practice and gain experience in engineering enterprise management. You can join one of our teams to take part in international competitions such as Formula Student or the Isle of Man TT Zero.
Our graduates have many skills that make them attractive to prospective employers, including teamwork, problem solving, creativity and numeracy. They hold specialist and managerial roles in high technology industries in engineering and manufacturing. Many of our graduates continue their studies with us or at other universities to pursue academic and research careers.
You will need a strong performance in both Mathematics and Physics or Engineering as part of your entry qualifications. If you are taking qualifications including a mixture of subjects (such as A levels) we prefer either a relevant subject (such as Further Mathematics or Design and Technology) or a traditional subject (such as History).
GCSE English grade C or 4 (or equivalent from English language category C).
Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council, to fully meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
