BEng Mechanical Engineering

Our BEng mechanical engineering course has been designed to be relevant to the needs of modern industry and to produce graduates who have the personal and intellectual qualities to be successful in their chosen careers. By the end of the BEng mechanical engineering course you will be equipped to play leading roles in a professional capacity in both industry and academia and thus able to deal with issues at the forefront of our discipline.

Our BEng mechanical engineering course is organised into integrated modules covering core mechanical engineering subjects that are designed to develop your learning progressively. You will consider the movement of mechanisms the strength of the individual parts the efficiency and environmental impact of your designs and the methods that can be employed to make your product profitably.

School leavers (Undergraduates)

The first two years of our BEng mechanical engineering course have been designed to provide a contemporary and flexible educational model that builds upon essential engineering fundamentals to develop students' broader understanding of behaviour policy entrepreneurship and global perspectives and kindles the passion necessary to address the societal challenge agenda.

In the final Year of our BEng mechanical engineering course the fundamentals of engineering are used to explore advanced engineering topic areas with a more problem solving based focus within the context of a broadly based programme of study. In your final Year of study on our BEng mechanical engineering course Year you undertake a major individual project linked to your chosen field of specialisation. you will also undertake a group design study project exploring the associated commercial legal and safety aspects of developing a new product.

We have been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. Characterised by a tradition of innovation, research at the University has broken new ground, pushed forward the boundaries of knowledge and made an impact on people’s lives.
