Professional skills
Group projects with engineering students from other disciplines mirror the dynamic of a professional engineering team and will help you to develop vital skills.
Cardiff Racing
Many of our mechanical engineering students join Cardiff Racing to participate in the design, development, and testing of a proven Formula Student racing car.
Flexible course
You can make your degree your own with the flexibility to choose where you want to focus your studies later in the course. If you change your mind about your programme, in most cases you may request a switch at the end of the first year.
Professionally accredited course
Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Mechanical engineers combine imagination and technology solve real-world problems, through the manipulation of moving parts. They develop all sorts of mechanical devices, tools, engines and machines. that offer innovative solutions for society and sectors including transport, energy and manufacturing.
This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready mechanical engineer. You will embed the knowledge gained from your lectures and tutorials and develop your practical abilities in design, computing and modelling, through hands-on projects and design classes.
You will choose from a range of authentic, real-world engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. Our open access makerspace provides a place for you to design, create and collaborate.
The MEng degree programme allows you to expand and strengthen your knowledge in mechanical engineering. You will benefit from advanced learning in design and management and multidisciplinary engineering design projects.
