Almost any machine or process you can think of in modern life has benefited from the input of a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers are responsible for the analysis, design and manufacture of an enormous range of industrial products and systems. This includes almost anything with moving parts, from washing machines and wind turbines to automobiles and aircraft. As a mechanical engineer, you will use your creative and inventive skills to design and improve products and processes, alongside: * fundamental physics * complex mathematics * state-of-the-art engineering software Studying mechanical engineering will open doors to increasingly diverse fields, including: * bioengineering * medical engineering * nanotechnology * sports engineering * renewable energy
Ties to industryOur Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important industrial companies. This has a strong influence on our curriculum and programme development.
Why Edinburgh?We are one of the strongest in the UK in renewable energy systems and structures with world-class facilities, including FloWave and FastBlade which allows research-based teaching and student projects.We have strong industry connections within Edinburgh, the UK, and beyond. This leads to excellent placement, internship and career opportunities.You can take advantage of our award-winning student societies such as Formula Student (designing, building and racing performance cars, including EVs), Endeavour (the rocketry society), and HYPED (the hyperloop society).You will get hands-on practical experience in the form of laboratory sessions and access a dedicated Makerspace workshop.You will also have the opportunity to apply to spend your third year studying abroad in a partnering overseas university.Finally, this degree gives you the flexibility to study specialist courses in areas you are most interested in.
Our communityWe are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create. Edinburgh has a particularly active community and network of companies in fields related to mechanical engineering, which are deliberately located here, close to the talent of our graduates.
