Combine numeracy with detailed subject knowledge and initiative to solve complex engineering problems that improve the world we live in.Our course teaches you how to use physical science, mathematics and computing to assess engineering systems. You'll combine this with creative innovation, and a focus on design and business to help give you the well-rounded set of skills professional engineers need.At Bath, we take pride in playing a part in developing our students to not only fulfil their potential but also to prepare them for the challenges engineers face in the world beyond university. With this in mind, our course complements your engineering knowledge with transferable skills like complex problem solving and critical thinking. And it allows you to reflect on wider issues that impact engineering such as ethics, sustainability and environmental awareness. All our mechanical engineering courses have the same structure in the first two years of study so you can move between any of our BEng and MEng courses up to the end of your second year.Practical project work is central to your study experience. Group and individual projects are a chance for you to put theory into practice and gain experience in engineering enterprise management. You can join one of our teams to take part in international competitions such as Formula Student or the Shell Eco Marathon.

Typical offer: A*A*A in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and A in PhysicsContextual offer: A*AA or A*A*B in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and A in Physics.Alternative offer: A*AA or A*A*B in three A levels including A* in Mathematics and A in Physics plus additional study - please see our website for further details.

AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics.We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers.

A pass in the Access to HE Diploma (in Science or Engineering) with at least 42 credits achieved at Distinction and 3 at Merit. This must include 12 credits from Mathematics units (including Calculus) achieved at Distinction and 12 credits from Physics units achieved at Distinction.Our Mechanical Engineering courses are academically challenging and require solid foundations of knowledge in Mathematics and Physics. We are able to consider Access to HE Diplomas in Science or Engineering, and we are looking for you to be studying a suitable level of Mathematics and Physics to be able to succeed in our courses. You will need to have studied Mathematics graded units worth at least 12 credits (including Calculus) and Physics graded units worth at least 12 credits.

36 points overall and 7, 7, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Physics and 7 in either HL Mathematics.Mathematics is required at Higher Level.In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying Standard Level Physics. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 7 in either HL Mathematics plus 7 in Standard Level Physics.
