This four-year integrated masters course will provide you with a complete skill set to address the toughest engineering challenges by unlocking the potential of today's immense computational power. You will learn how to leverage sophisticated software to design complex technologies and how to code and implement your own models and simulations where out-of-the box solutions are insufficient. Design is a crucial factor in engineering-based industries, and most of modern design methods in engineering are computer-based. This MEng degree course combines the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering with specialist study of Computational Engineering and Engineering Design, focusing on the key relationship between computation procedures and design. In the first two years, you will cement your understanding of core mechanical engineering subjects, mirroring the MEng Mechanical Engineering. At the end of your second year, you will be able to choose modules to specialise your course, or follow an interdisciplinary course. Our diverse range of optional modules include Aircraft Structural Design to Orthopaedic Biomechanics. In your third year, you will carry out an individual research or design project that will stem from a real engineering need and it may be sponsored by industry. During your fourth year you will participate in a group design project with engineering students from across different disciplines. During your studies, you will have the opportunity to spend time on industrial placement. You can do this for either one semester or one year. There are also opportunities for you to work in industry during the summer holidays of your second and third years.

The career options on qualification are far-reaching, from graduate mechanical engineer and management consultant to applications engineer. A dedicated Employment Officer will also be on hand to help you build your skills profile and realise your ambitions. We also have connections with local, national and international employers as well as the University Careers and Employability Service.
