Mechanical Engineering

This course is ideal if you're interested in product design, process design, system analysis or modelling.

If you want to model mechanical engineering systems, predict system behaviour and understand manufacturing processes - including how they influence design - completing our Mechanical Engineering degree to BEng (Hons) level could be for you.

This course is also ideal if you’re interested in product design, process design, system analysis or modelling, as they focus on key engineering skills through the use of examples and problem-based learning.

This course is also ideal if you’re interested in product design, process design, system analysis or modelling, as they focus on key engineering skills through the use of examples and problem-based learning.

The BEng Mechanical Engineering [Top Up] course enables applicants who have completed an HND/ FDSc in a relevant Engineering discipline to progress onto the final year of the BEng qualification.

On this year, you will deepen your knowledge and skills in different areas within Mechanical Engineering including computational fluid dynamics, vibration analysis and structural analysis. You will also study current developments and innovations within Engineering practice, allowing you to understand how the discipline is developing and changing.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to undertake an individual Engineering project allowing you to explore a topic or challenge within Engineering which is of individual interest to you.

To provide a solid base for your learning, in Year 1, you’ll develop the skills and techniques that are used by all engineers and are taught right across our entire Engineering programme.

In Years 2 and 3, your study will focus on the mechanical design process, materials, mechanical and fluid systems, business and programming. A choice of specialist optional modules will also help you tailor your degree. If you enrol on the sandwich course, after Year 2 you will spend a year on a placement, applying your knowledge in the workplace and gaining hands-on experience.

Your final year of study will also include a major individual project, which may be inspired by your employment. Calling on your specialist knowledge, and supported by underpinning modules, your project will provide an opportunity for you to be able to consider the legal, ethical and environmental impact of engineering decisions on society. The year will also provide the opportunity to present your work to potential employers at GradEX, our graduate exhibition, and to participate in local and cross-University events.

The course operates on a modular basis that provides flexibility and choice. Typically the majority of modules are 30 academic credits with a smaller number of 15 credit modules. Each credit taken equates to a total study time of around 10 hours. Total study time includes scheduled teaching, independent study and assessment activity. Full-time students take modules worth 60 credits per semester, with part-time students taking proportionately fewer credits per semester. All students take a total of 120 credits per level and 360 credits for the degree as a whole. Your overall grade for the course and your degree classification are based on the marks obtained for modules taken at levels 5 and 6.  The full-time course has one start point in September.
