Programme overview The main objective of this programme is to produce graduates with the ability to plan, execute and report technical projects for industry and academia. The programme is composed of taught units, assessed by examination and coursework submission, and a major research project supervised by academic staff in the department. The facilities and expertise in the Department of Mechanical Engineering have earned us consistent top rankings in the prestigious Times University League Table and an internationally excellent rating for research.

Careers after an MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering Several of our recent students have gone into research including two students who recently graduated with a PhD from Bristol University. One further student is currently working towards an Engineering Doctorate with the Systems Centre in Bristol and has been working closely with a local company (his industrial sponsor) Vestas. His research title is "Expanding the life cycle of wind turbine components through reverse engineering and repairing solutions".
