Mechanical Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

This integrated Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering combines theoretical principles with practical design work. The first two years establish foundational knowledge in mechanical engineering, including law, management, systems design, and computing, to guide products from concept to market. In the third year, students explore specialized areas like orthopaedic biomechanics and complete an individual project. The fourth year features advanced modules and a group design project tackling real-world challenges, supported by facilities such as the UK's largest wind tunnel and a 3D imaging centre.An Industrial Placement Year offers paid professional experience to boost employability. Assessment involves examinations, coursework, reports, and presentations, with the placement evaluated through a reflective report. The program is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, offering a route 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.
