Master’s in Mechanical Engineering includes an integrated industry placement, putting you on the path to becoming a professional/chartered engineer. You’ll learn fundamental knowledge in mechanical engineering before taking specialist options in Years 3 and 4. Project work throughout the degree provides the opportunity to apply your design skills to real-world problems.

You'll cover the essential principles of engineering, and learn about:

  • Machine Learning
  • Robotic Systems
  • Sustainable Energy
  • Data Science

In your third year you'll complete an individual research project and in Year 4 you'll take part in a final year project and a group design project. These projects are often linked to current research or topics that have practical relevance to industry.

  • Mechanical Engineering degree allows our students to design and develop novel and innovative structures and materials for a wide range of technologies from cars to medical devices.
  • Mechanical Engineers research, develop, design, manufacture and test tools, engines, machines and other mechanical devices for a wide range of applications, from the automotive and aerospace fields to biomedical and microsystems.
