Engineering is about applying science and mathematics to the real world, which is why our Masters-level Mechanical Engineering programme adopts a hands-on approach. You will develop and practise advanced skills and knowledge that will support your career ambitions.

Mechanical engineering is concerned with anything that moves and lots of things that don’t. Anywhere where solids, liquids or gasses interact, mechanical engineering has its part to play. From a simple nut and bolt, through to the complex multi-physics of aerodynamics in Formula One, mechanical engineering covers a broad range of content and can lead to a multitude of different and exciting careers.

Our approach reinforces your learning from lectures through practical activities, and allows you to fully assess your assumptions while building teamwork and project management skills essential to your future career. The degree is professionally accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE) as meeting complete fulfilment of the educational requirements to become a Chartered Engineer.

In the modern world, Mechanical Engineers do not work in isolation, which is why our broad based common first year adds significant value to your degree. Not only will you cover themes from within mechanical engineering, but also the fundamentals behind electronics and chemical processes, along with a solid foundation in engineering mathematics.

Following the first year, where you will have begun to explore a variety of different areas of the discipline, you will have the opportunity to consider and plan your academic progression. At this stage, you may choose to continue with your Mechanical Engineering study, or move onto any of our other specialist programmes.

Specialist modules in mechanical engineering will begin in the second year, where you will cover all the main themes of materials, statics and dynamics, fluids and thermodynamics.

About this course

Because of the dynamic nature of mechanical engineering, our graduates go on to excel in a wide range of sectors including Automotive, Aerospace, Technical Consultancy, Energy, Manufacturing, Business and Management, and Public Administration and Defence. Alternatively, you may wish to undertake PhD level study at Lancaster and pursue a career in research or teaching.

Our Careers Service offers a wide range of support and advice and we host a Science and Technology Careers Fair every year, allowing you to make valuable business connections.

We are often approached by external companies to help solve problems that are specific to engineering. We view such problems as opportunities, and with the expertise that you gain during your degree, it will be your job to solve these challenges in small teams. Our current students and recent graduates can also apply for relevant paid work experience through the Science and Technology Internship Programme.

We strive to empower all our graduates with the skills, confidence and experience they need to achieve a successful career.

A Level AAA

Required Subjects A level Mathematics and a Physical Science, for example, Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Computer Science, Design & Technology or Further Mathematics.

Lancaster University offers a range of programmes, some of which follow a structured study programme, and others which offer the chance for you to devise a more flexible programme. We divide academic study into two sections - Part 1 (Year 1) and Part 2 (Year 2, 3 and sometimes 4). For most programmes Part 1 requires you to study 120 credits spread over at least three modules which, depending upon your programme, will be drawn from one, two or three different academic subjects. A higher degree of specialisation then develops in subsequent years.

Information contained on the website with respect to modules is correct at the time of publication, but changes may be necessary, for example as a result of student feedback, Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies' (PSRB) requirements, staff changes, and new research.
