Mechanical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This degree covers the core principles of engineering, offering flexibility to specialize in areas of interest later on. It combines theoretical learning with hands-on experience, emphasizing engineering design and modeling to address real-world challenges. In the first two years, students explore essential subjects like mathematics, fluids, dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials, applying them through industry-like projects. Later, you can tailor your studies with options in mechanical engineering or fields like biomechanics, integrating with biomedical sciences. The third year includes a group design project with industrial partners, while the final year features an individual research project under expert supervision. Graduates emerge as specialists ready to contribute to the field, with the course seeking re-accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for 2024-25.Key reasons to study include project-based learning that integrates science with practical problems, personalized education through diverse optional modules, a "Preparation for Practice" module for employability skills, personal tutorials for ongoing support, and a vibrant community recognized in national surveys. This approach fosters independent learning and real-world readiness.
