MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (Integrated Master's)

• A-Level: Including passes at A2 in at least two subjects. Must include Maths and Physics or Electronics
• BTEC: Extended Diploma (QCF) or Diploma (QCF) in a related subject.
• International Baccalaureate: Diploma with 29 points including a minimum of 16 points at Higher Level, must include Maths and Physics at Higher Level

Note: We would normally expect you to have Grade C in GCSE English and Maths.

English Language Requirements:

• Overall IELTS score of 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking (or recognised equivalent).

Mechanical engineers design, create and build mechanical devices that use mechanical motion. You’ll learn to apply the fundamentals of science and maths to create practical, useful solutions to relevant problems.

This course is built on a strong foundation of theory, reinforced by practical experience and innovation. It also features modules in new and emerging technologies.

Throughout your studies, you’ll acquire not only an understanding of general engineering principles but also a range of transferable skills, including the ability to contribute to team projects.

You’ll gain a knowledge and understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering principles, dynamics, solid mechanics, fluids, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), thermodynamics, heat transfer, control systems, computing techniques, mechatronics, manufacturing processes, material, energy technologies and sustainability.

You’ll also have the chance to undertake an advanced treatment of core mechanical engineering disciplines such as design analysis, dynamic systems, CFD, advanced materials, control systems and sustainable energy technologies.

Year 1

• Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Principles (core)
• Engineering Materials and Manufacturing Technology (core)
