Mechanical Engineering / Automotive Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This integrated Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on automotive systems covers a wide range of topics, including vehicle design, dynamics, noise control, and human factors. The first two years establish foundational principles in mechanical engineering, law, management, systems design, modelling, and computing, guiding the development of products from concept to market.In years three and four, students gain specialised skills for the automotive industry, including individual and group projects. Typical modules span engineering design, mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, and advanced topics like automotive propulsion. Assessment involves examinations, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and presentations. The programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Council, and EUR-ACE, offering a pathway to chartered status.

Typical modules include: Year one: An Introduction to Engineering Design; Electrical and Electronics Systems; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment; Mechanics, Structures and Materials; Mechanical Systems Analysis; ThermoFluids. Year two: Engineering Management and Law; Fluid Mechanics; Materials and Structures; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment Part II; Mechanics, Machines and Vibration; Systems Design and Computing; Thermodynamics; Electronics and Control. Year three: Individual Project; Automotive Chassis and Powertrain; Automotive Mechatronics; Engineering Design with Management; Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics; Heat Transfer and Applications; Manufacturing and Materials. Year four: Group Design Project; Advanced Electrical Systems; Automotive Propulsion; Materials, Manufacturing, and Supply Chains; plus module options to deepen your knowledge.
