MSc/PgD Mechanical Engineering with Options in Design or Manufacture

The MSc in Mechanical Engineering programme offers two specialist two study options: Design and Manufacture. These options share a number of common modules that directly reflect the activities of a professional mechanical engineer. The development of these Masters options is in direct response to the specification of benchmark requirements for professional engineering competence by the UK’s Engineering Council (UK-SPEC).

Mechanical engineers have traditionally been not only specialists, but also generalists, who have the breadth of expertise necessary for operation as project managers, leaders and innovators. In addition to advancing the core knowledge base of the discipline in your selected option, the programme will provide the necessary and continuing development of appropriate inter-personal skills at this level to enable management of resources and planning objectives.

In the School of Engineering and Built Environment, the area of mechanical engineering has very strong industrial links through its industrial advisory board, undergraduate placement scheme and its highly successful part-time undergraduate programmes which all contribute to a highly successful MSc programme.
UK Honours degree 2:2 (or equivalent) in a suitable mechanical or manufacturing engineering discipline.
For mature candidates, equivalence to an Honours degree-05-be demonstrated through Recognition of Prior Informal Learning (RPL).
