Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Energy Systems, MEng (Hons)

This integrated Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering focuses on sustainable energy technologies, including wind turbines, solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells, while addressing societal aspects of energy distribution and use. The first two years cover foundational mechanical engineering principles, such as law, management, systems design, and computing, to guide products from concept to market. In years three and four, students delve into advanced fluid behaviour, thermal phenomena, and heat transfer, alongside an individual project in year three and a group design project in year four to tackle real-world problems. Access to state-of-the-art facilities, like the UK's largest wind tunnel and a 3D imaging centre, enhances learning.Typical modules span engineering design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and sustainable energy systems across all years. Assessment includes written exams, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and projects, evaluating experimental and design skills. The program is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Council, and EUR-ACE, providing a pathway to chartered status.
