From high-performance race cars through to lifesaving medical equipment, railways to green technology, none of this would be possible without mechanical engineers.
The course is designed to give you a thorough grounding in the principles and fundamentals of mechanical engineering. You’ll get involved in practical work, projects and problem-solving, we’ll cover a range of topics within the subject, including mathematics, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and materials.
We’ll give you the opportunity to design, make and analyse products and processes from a range of different engineering applications. We’ll also look at the business and financial side of your subject, so you can see it in context and get the full picture of how the industry operates.
The course is fully accredited by the IMechE, which means it meets the academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and goes towards part of the academic requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
Top-up Option
If you have studied Mechanical Engineering for at least two years at university or higher education level, this is a one year course that helps you to build on your knowledge and skills to gain a degree.
Example modules
• Mechatronics • Engineering Design • Manufacturing and Production Systems • Eco Design and Intellectual Property Rights
Your future
