Programme overview
A clearer look at BEng Engineering (Mechanical)
Applies mathematics and physics to the design, manufacture and operation of machines and systems, with a strong focus on problem solving and teamwork. Suited to students aiming for professional mechanical engineering careers.
This 48-month undergraduate route concentrates on mechanics, materials and thermofluids, mechanical design, manufacture and simulation, testing and improving engineered systems. The course record does not promise a placement, so students should judge it primarily by its curriculum, teaching approach and project opportunities.
Course focus
What you can expect to explore
Mechanics, materials and thermofluids
Mechanical design, manufacture and simulation
Testing and improving engineered systems
Apply mathematics and science to engineering problems.
Skills development
Capabilities you can build
Engineering design
Modelling and simulation
Technical analysis
Experimental problem-solving
The balance of technical, academic and professional skills depends on the modules and assessments offered for your intake.
Learning experience
How you may learn
Practical, laboratory, studio, simulation or supervised activities where appropriate to the discipline.
Independent study and progressively more complex assignments or projects.
Assessment may combine coursework, reports, presentations, examinations or projects; the exact balance is set by the university.
Who is this course for?
A strong fit for students who enjoy understanding how machines and physical systems work and using that knowledge to design practical solutions. Entry requirements still determine eligibility, and students should compare the official module list with their own career goals before applying.
Career direction
Where it may lead
Relevant career directions may include:
Mechanical engineer
Design engineer
Manufacturing engineer
Engineering consultant
These are examples, not guaranteed outcomes. Employment depends on your experience, location, professional registration where applicable and the modules completed.
