Our BEng Mechanical Engineering course is offered as either a three or four year course with integrated placement year. We are driven by the demands of industry to produce graduates with extremely strong engineering and scientific skills coupled to strong skills in project management, team work and commercial awareness. Our courses put you in control, giving you the skills and confidence to lead and undertake complex engineering projects. Teaching isn’t just lectures, it’s workshops and practical sessions too. You’ll be involved in individual and group project work throughout the course, designed to develop your individual skills as an engineer and the communication, organisational and leadership skills needed to work effectively in a business or organisation.The fast-evolving nature of mechanical engineering means that future generations of graduates must embrace change and thrive on a love of innovation. The challenges and rewards for skilled engineers who can design, manufacture and manage advanced products and processes are greater than ever.Throughout the course we emphasise the need to be able to apply engineering knowledge, technical skill, strong management skills and innovation to successfully solve engineering problems. You can expect to work on major projects often in partnership with commercial engineering companies. Your studies will encompasses all of the fundamental disciplines of mechanical engineering. Key course benefits:- Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for the purpose of meeting the educational requirements of Chartered Engineer (CEng)- Our Mechanical Engineering courses are ranked top 10 in the UK (Guardian University Guide, 2023)- Our Mechanical Engineering courses are in the Top 15 in the UK for Graduate Prospects. (Complete University Guide, 2023).- Our optional placement year offers you the opportunity to gain valuable experience and set your studies in the context of a working environment, to boost your future employment prospects.
