A three-year mechanical engineering degree covering design, mechanics, materials and thermodynamics. Suits students with strong maths and physics aiming for engineering careers.
This 36-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
Skills development
The balance of technical, academic and professional skills depends on the modules and assessments offered for your intake.
Learning experience
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
Relevant career directions may include:
