This course is ideal if you're interested in product design, process design, system analysis or modelling. MEng Awards are integrated master’s programmes which are treated for funding purposes as undergraduate degrees. The additional study in comparison with a BEng Honours award aims to provide you the opportunity to develop the potential to be a leader in the engineering profession and within the engineering industry. You will be able to deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively, make sound judgements in the absence of complete data, and communicate their conclusions clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences. At the same time, greater subject specialism is allowed for by providing further study of Mechanical engineering and broadening can be achieved through a final-year group project at Level 7. This will contribute to the student’s formation as a professional engineer and can be the first step in achieving Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Mechanical engineers are able to find career opportunities in areas such as energy generation, water supply, construction, transport, medical technologies, R&D as well as in general product manufacture. Here in Britain, we re not training up enough engineers to fill the jobs that we have today, let alone the jobs we ll need in fifty years time. And it s not a problem limited to the UK; Germany, Switzerland, and the US have all expressed concerns about the shortage of good engineering talent. Sir James Dyson
