Our professionally accredited degree programmes offer an exciting blend of learning experiences designed to ensure our students not only master the scientific fundamentals, but also develop the skills, attitudes and experience demanded by 21st century engineering and society. Our ethos is to spend as much time outside the lecture theatre as possible. Our students spend a significant amount of their time working in teams to apply their learning in the solution of practical problems; or in the design, building and testing of new products processes and systems. This means our graduates are very well prepared for their careers ahead, and industry recognises them as highly employable.

All mechanical engineering programmes are accredited, or pending accreditation, by our professional body, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and are a recognised qualification on the route to Chartered Engineer status.

Programme in detailYears One and Two of our programmes are designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge of engineering science in subjects such as thermodynamics; fluid mechanics; solid mechanics; dynamic systems; materials and electronics and mathematics. It is this scientific understanding that underpins the practice of all professional engineering. Students also learn about project management, computer programming, and engineering design. Lecture-based learning is complemented by a wide range of laboratory work, practical challenges, team-based ‘design-build-test’ projects, site visits and other activities.

In Years Three and Four students move on to study advanced engineering science and undertake a 300-hour individual research project on a topic of their choice. They can also choose their engineering specialism by selecting one of five thematic streams: biomedical engineering, materials engineering, manufacturing, management, or simulation and analytics.

The most important element of the MEng programme is the two-year Capstone project: a team project in which students design, build and race a single seat race car, a high speed bicycle or an underwater remotely operated vehicle; or in which students work with our industrial partners, alongside professional engineers, as they develop solutions to real industrial problems.

These projects are designed to transform student engineers into fledgling professionals. They are rewarding for the students, are valued by industry and have been commended by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.
