What you'll study
This course aims to help students become mechanical engineering specialists with advanced skills in computational modelling, numerical and experimental techniques.
You'll choose from one of our two professional pathways - Computational Design and Engineering, or Energy and Thermofluids. Upon completing this programme, we expect that you will be able to perform design and analysis of mechanical engineering systems in your chosen area, and develop novel computational and technology products for the mechanical engineering industries.
You’ll complete a substantial research project in our excellent facilities, supervised by our research staff.
You’ll also have opportunities to gain industrial experience with our industrial partners, who provide real design case studies throughout the curriculum. Recent case studies were delivered by Bridgestone, DePuys, Baxter, Artis, Corus, BAe, DSTL and Rolls Royce.
Accreditation
Our Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSc has been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
The accredited MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.
Graduates from an accredited MSc programme who do not also have an appropriately accredited bachelor's degree will need to have their qualifications individually assessed through the accrediting body's Individual Case Procedure if they wish to acquire CEng status.
