What will I learn?

This programme is a one year add on, open to Level 7 graduates in Mechanical Engineering disciplines and leads to a Bachelor of Engineering (honours) degree. ​ Mechanical engineering is about putting ideas into action. It is about inventing, designing, developing, manufacturing and maintaining products, equipment and machinery of all kinds. Mechanical engineers use their knowledge of materials, mechanisms, power, energy and manufacturing technology to produce specifications for their designs and to see those designs become a reality. They also build and test prototypes of their products in order to prove their designs.Our programme offers the student a year long industrial project based in a company or partnered with a Researcher from one of our centres and gives the student valuable work/research experience. These industrial and research links are further enhanced by experienced lecturing and research staff combined with industrial visits and industrially based case studies. Mechanical Engineering is a rewarding career in which graduates can and do make a difference to society by applying their skills and knowledge.
