About

Fascinated by how science can solve real-world problems? Have a flair for design and creative thinking? Join a group of like-minded people who are keen to turn intrigue into a contribution towards a more sustainable future.

Mechanical engineers are at the forefront of developing technologies. From building robotics that aid healthcare, to seeking sustainable energy solutions. You could be solving global issues for a variety of sectors.

Equipped for success

Preparing to work in a fast-changing industry, you’ll be equipped with a range of technical, creative and management skills. Our expert academics will also support you to think innovatively and work confidently in our state-of-the-art labs.

We’re recognised globally for our research, creating new technology and writing publications as a result. And we’re keen to encourage forward thinking in your work too.

You’ll start exploring your options and growing your network throughout the course. We regularly bring in industry partners and guest speakers from big businesses including BP, BAE and Rolls-Royce. Government organisation, NGO, or healthcare institution – prepare to secure exciting work as a graduate engineer.

Professional recognition

Our Mechanical Engineering programmes have been accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAES) and Institution of Mechanical Engineers under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Our BEng programmes partially meet the academic requirements for CEng registration. Our MEng programmes fully meet the academic requirements for CEng registration.
