Mechanical Engineering Design

Become an incorporated engineer, faster. Our Mechanical Engineering Design degree combines practical, hands-on learning with the essential theories for working in this industry. Then practice your new skills through our extra-curricular activities and specialist facilities.

You’ll learn how to become an inventive problem-solver. After reviewing a product, you’ll consider how to improve it and test your ideas using industry-standard software. Tools you’ll use include computer-aided design (CAD) and stress and analysis packages.

Our teaching staff are industry professionals and experts in their fields. You can apply their insights to your coursework and to your job applications when you graduate. Your analytical skills will be highly relevant to any other postgraduate study you choose to take.

Since mechanical engineering underpins all of the engineering profession, our graduates go on to work in a broad range of industries. This includes aerospace, manufacturing, defence, pharmaceuticals, and finance. They’re employed by companies such as Dyson, Airbus, and Lentus Composites.

Completing this BEng course meets the academic requirements for gaining incorporated engineer status. It’s accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering Technology (IET).

You’ll have the option to study mechanical engineering design, or another similar subject, at postgraduate level. So you may want to consider progressing to our MSc courses after completing your undergraduate programme.
