Mechanical Engineering / Mechatronics, MEng (Hons)

This integrated Master's degree provides specialist expertise in the integration of electrical and mechanical systems. The first two years align with other Mechanical Engineering programs, focusing on core principles, law, management, systems design, and computing to develop products from concept to market. In years three and four, students study mechanical, electrical, and control engineering for advanced applications like autonomous robots and self-driving cars, including individual projects in year three and group design projects in year four. Access to facilities such as the UK's largest wind tunnel and dedicated design studios supports learning.The program includes modules across mathematics, thermodynamics, robotics, and advanced systems, with assessment through examinations, coursework, laboratory reports, and presentations. Fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, it offers a route to chartered status and recognition from professional bodies like the Engineering Council and EUR-ACE.

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 teh Environment Part II; Mechanics, Machines and Vibration; Systems Design and Computing; Thermodynamics; Electronics and Control. Year three: Individual Project; Automotive Mechatronics; Control and Instrumentation; Engineering Design with Management; Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics; Heat Transfer and Applications; Robotic Systems. Year four: Group Design Project; Advanced Electrical Systems; Advanced Sensors and Condition Monitoring; Manufacturing and Materials; Materials, Manufacturing, and Supply Chains; plus module options to deepen your knowledge.
