Awaiting professional accreditation by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) A specialist engineering programme, which additionally enables you to enhance your management skills A range of optional modules to choose from This exciting programme will equip you with the skills required to be a modern mechanical engineer. It focuses on the latest techniques and technologies used in mechanical engineering, teaching you how to apply these to complex contemporary problems. Alongside the core engineering modules, you will also study two management modules taught by the Business School which will help you develop transferable professional management skills that will enhance your study experience and improve your career prospects. You will gain a range of computational skills which will enable you to analyse systems using numerical methods, simulation and optimisation techniques. Sustainability is also emphasised throughout the programme and you will be encouraged to consider responsible solutions to modern day challenges. The programme is supported by internationally leading research projects in areas such as nano-scale materials engineering, biomedical engineering, 3D analysis from CT scans for prosthetic bone replacement surgery, additive layer manufacturing for high specification applications with aerospace metals, and application and recycling of polymers and composites. The programme has been designed for mechanical engineers who want to develop their management expertise in order to progress their careers. It also enables graduates to proceed to Chartered Engineer status.

There is considerable demand in the workplace for graduates with knowledge in both a specialist technology area and in management, particularly in the modern tools and techniques to support the management of a dynamically changing engineering business. Recent graduates have taken employment in a variety of sectors, including both large companies and small and medium sized enterprises.
