Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Energy Systems, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

This integrated master's degree in sustainable energy technologies examines wind turbines, solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells, while addressing societal aspects of energy distribution and use. The first two years align with other mechanical engineering programs, emphasizing core principles such as mechanical engineering fundamentals, law, management, systems design, and computing to guide products from concept to market. In years three and four, students explore advanced fluid behavior, thermal and heat transfer phenomena, and undertake individual and group projects to apply engineering knowledge to real-world challenges.The curriculum includes modules across years, such as introductory engineering design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and specialized topics like photovoltaics and sustainable energy systems. Assessment involves unseen examinations, coursework including problem-solving exercises, laboratory reports, essays, and projects, with the industrial placement year evaluated through a reflective report. The program is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Council, and EUR-ACE, providing a route to chartered status.
