Mechanical Engineering including an Integrated Study Abroad Year, BEng (Hons), with study abroad

Are you eager to advance engineering solutions for greater sustainability and efficiency? This course provides the opportunity to leverage your initiative, numerical skills, and specialized knowledge to enhance modern industries. Mechanical engineering is crucial in sectors such as aerospace, manufacturing, medicine, renewable energy, and motorsports, influencing everyday life through innovations in transportation and food processing. Students will access advanced research facilities, including robotics and 3D printing, and apply their skills in individual and group projects. The three-year program includes a year abroad in the second year and is fully accredited.The first two years build a strong foundation in mechanical engineering fundamentals, including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics, and electromechanical systems. A major individual project comprises one-third of the studies, often involving computational or experimental investigations tied to school research. You will also select from a mix of compulsory and optional modules to tailor the course to your interests.

The first two years provide a good grounding in the broad fundamentals of mechanical engineering science and engineering design. The science subjects studied include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, dynamics and electro-mechanical systems. A major individual project makes up a third of your studies. This may involve computational and or experimental investigations often related to research activities within the school. You will also study a mix of compulsory and optional modules, the latter allowing you to tailor the course to your interests.
