About

Why choose this course?

This course has embedded themes of creativity, employability, sustainability, and the environment to generate professional engineers equipped with academic and practical knowledge. The course is designed to meet the latest standards for accreditation as defined by the Engineering Council.

Our BEng Mechanical Engineering course is accredited by theInstitute of Engineering and Technology (IET).

As a student on this engineering course, you will have access to state-of-art engineering laboratories as well as new specialist equipment and technologies that are at the forefront of engineering developments. This includes:

Design and visualisation facility built on best-practice in industry
Wind tunnels
Engine test facilities
Composites laboratory
3D printing facilities
Electronics and telecommunications laboratory
Metrology laboratory
Materials testing laboratory
Thermo-fluid laboratory

Our main aim for our graduates is to be ready for employment. We provide additional opportunities for students to gain employability and soft skills, with employability workshops and awards as part of the course. Additionally, we offer extracurricular club activities such as IMechE Formula Student Activity and the University of Wolverhampton Racing (UWR) team that allow students to build real engineering components and apply industry standards and procedures.

Mechanical Engineering is a very popular engineering discipline that plays a key role in various modern technologies including vehicles, robotics, machines, power systems, materials, and advanced manufacturing. Mechanical engineers are critical thinkers, problems solvers, and developers of innovative products and new technologies. Employment prospects for mechanical engineering graduates are very good as there is always a huge demand for mechanical engineers from different industry sectors.

The Mechanical Engineering course at the University of Wolverhampton provides a comprehensive engineering education covering a wide range of core subjects such as engineering mathematics, engineering science, solid and structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. As you progress through the course, you will also cover the principles of mechanical and machine designs, control systems, advanced materials, and manufacturing processes including Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM).

During your studies, you will learn how to use computer-aided engineering tools to design, analyse, and optimize mechanical parts. You will also learn how to evaluate the performance of mechanical systems and components under in-service conditions through the use of industry-level finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software packages.

This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to:

design and synthesise mechanical engineering products including electro-mechanical systems and processes and the ability to demonstrate an innovative approach to design realisation
evaluate a range of solutions to engineering problems, drawn from a broad knowledge of engineering and technology specialities
select and apply appropriate mathematical methods to solve problems in the analysis and synthesis of mechanical engineering systems
contribute to teamwork effectively and ethically, addressing the prominent engineering, social, environmental, and commercial issues
select and apply appropriate software packages for design, analysis, and synthesis applications and critically evaluate the results
relate theory and practice, thereby facilitating the efficient realisation of viable mechanical engineering products and processes.

Entry Requirements

Foundation Programme

We offer two International Foundation Year (IFY) programmes, allowing progression onto a wide range of undergraduate degrees at the University of Wolverhampton:

The 1 Year stand-alone International Foundation Year (IFY)
The 4 Year integrated International Foundation Year (IFY) programme which includes a foundation year and degree

The 1 year stand-alone International Foundation Year (IFY) course is designed for international students (yr for students for whom English is not their first language) whose qualifications are insufficient for direct entry to undergraduate study and/or those whose English language level does not meet the minimum criteria. The 1 year IFY course provides preparation in academic subjects, English language and study skills up to the required level for progression onto most undergraduate degree courses at the University of Wolverhampton (subject to professional body requirements) in Arts; Education, Health and Wellbeing; Science and Engineering and Social Sciences. The IFY is delivered at our Telford and City Campuses. Entry to these foundation programmes may require you to have studied specific subjects at high school

The 4 Year International Foundation Year (IFY) integrated degree routes in Arts; Education, Health and Wellbeing; Science and Engineering and Social Sciences are designed for international students (or for students for whom English is not their first language). This route will suit students whose qualifications fall below the entry requirements to undergraduate study and/or those whose English language level does not meet the minimum criteria. The 4 year integrated IFY courses prepare students in academic subjects, English language and study skills enabling progression onto most undergraduate degree courses at the University of Wolverhampton, subject to professional body requirements. The IFY is delivered at both of our Telford and City campuses. Entry to these foundation programmes may require you to have studied specific subjects at high school.

Students from Jordan wishing to pursue the International Foundation Year (IFY) at the University of Wolverhampton will need to obtain a Certificate of Secondary Education with an overall score of 75% with no less than 70% in each subject

Please note: you only need to take a foundation programme if your qualifications are not suitable for your chosen degree.

Undergraduate

The University considers students for undergraduate study who have completed Secondary School Certificates.

Postgraduate

For entry to a postgraduate degree programme (Master’s) at the University of Wolverhampton, students typically need to have completed a three or four-year undergraduate degree (Honours Bachelor degree or Professional degree) at an accredited university or college. Exact requirements will depend on the postgraduate degree you are applying for and the institution you have studied at.

Degree from Government/ Recognised Private University GPA 2.2/4 minimum
Higher Diploma 2.5/4 and Bachelor 2.0/4

Please note: This information is provided as a guide only. Some courses may have specific entry requirements that are listed on the relevant course page. Please check for any additional subject/course specific requirements before submitting your application.

English Program Requirements

You can demonstrate your English language ability by studying with us on our online Pre-sessional English and Academic Skills courses which will allow you to gain entry to most undergraduate or postgraduate degree courses. You can do our online Pre-sessional course from your own home - you do not need to be on our campus in order to study but you will need access to a PC or laptop and a good quality internet connection in order to fully participate. Our new online Pre-sessional courses will help you to improve and develop your English language and academic skills and will prepare you for your degree programme at the University of Wolverhampton.

Other ways of demonstrating your English language abilities are:

With a qualification (eg a high school certificate) from your country that has been approved by the University of Wolverhampton as meeting the minimum English language entry competency. See your country for details.
By demonstrating that you completed your secondary or university education at a secondary (high) school or university in a country approved by the University as teaching in the medium of English.
If you are a national of one of the following countries you do not have to prove your level of English; Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Barbados Belize, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, New Zealand, St Kitts and Nevis St Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, United States of America
By presenting one of the international qualifications listed below. It should have been completed no more than two years before of the start date of your degree course.
