Mechanical Engineering is a field covering any industry that uses moving parts, from construction to transport; medicine to manufacturing; renewable energy to consumer technology. Our three-year BEng and four-year MEng degree programmes give you the skills necessary for the subject, with an applied focus on mechanical system designs. In your first year, you’ll study core Engineering and Engineering Mathematics subjects. In your second year, your studies will continue and include more project work and during your final year you can specialise more – building teamwork skills while developing and indulging your passion for engineering. Projects such as these help you gain solid experience and your combination of practical and analytical skills means you will have the option of entering an exciting variety of careers.

Many of our graduates go on to work with the companies we have strong links with, often starting on salaries in excess of £26,500 per annum. Recent Engineering graduates have embarked upon careers as electronic, mechanical, applications, design and nuclear systems engineers. As well as specific technical knowledge, your Engineering degree teaches you skills of logical analysis, communication, problem-solving and project management. They are used by our graduates for work in design, project engineering and management, research, contracts, sales and marketing and data analysis. Our graduates also choose to continue their studies to MSc and PhD level.
