**Course summary**
- Explore mechanical engineering design from a manufacturing perspective.
- Apply modern computational methods to resolve engineering challenges.
- Experience real-world projects, applying theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
- Study best practices in cutting-edge technologies, processes and systems.
- Enhance your decision-making by solving increasingly open-ended problems.
On this course you’ll benefit from extensive resources, from computational and metrology labs to wind tunnels and rapid prototyping equipment. You’ll have the flexibility to tailor your course to your goals – choosing from a selection of modules to match your interests. Previous graduates have gone on to excel in a variety of engineering fields.
**How you learn**
All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.
You’ll benefit from our expert team’s wealth of experience – studying a combination of technical modules and advanced aspects of mechanical engineering.
You’ll apply your knowledge and skills to real-world contexts – actively engaging in work placements, live projects, field trips, networking events and competitions. These experiences will enhance your employability, deepen your understanding of the engineering and management fields, and prepare you to thrive in a dynamic and competitive professional landscape.
You learn through:
- Lab sessions
- Lectures
- Problem solving
- Critical reflection
- Group project work
- Independent study
- Assessments
- Coursework
- Seminars
- Tutorials
**Key Themes**
You’ll apply theories to real-life situations, whether within your organisation or through case studies. Practical work varies across formal lab sessions that explore relevant systems, processes or materials – which you’ll critically reflect on, and report your findings.
You’ll learn to apply modern computational methods – including finite elements modelling and analysis (FEM/FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
We’ll support and challenge you to grow as an independent learner who confidently uses contemporary materials. You’ll address increasingly open-ended problems, using your evolving knowledge, experience and decision-making skills. The MSc project is the ultimate stage, where you're expected to work reasonably independently under your supervisor's guidance.
**Course Support**
You’ll be supported in your learning journey towards highly skilled, graduate-level employment, including:
- Academic support to help you thrive, integrating theory and practical modelling.
- Access to our student support triangle to help with your personal, academic and career development.
- Access to our Skills Centre with one-on-ones, webinars, and online resources, where you can get help with planning and structuring your assignments.
**Applied learning**
**Work Placements**
You’ll have the opportunity to go on a work placement for up to 12 months, where you’ll apply academic theory and your skills in a real-world setting. This hands-on experience will enhance your professional development and help you to make informed career choices after graduation. We’ll support you to source a placement that is relevant to your course.
Throughout your placement, you’ll be supported to reflect on your experience and contribution to the organisation you work for. You'll also share your progress and achievements with your Placement Academic Supervisor as part of your final assessment.

On this course you’ll benefit from extensive resources, from computational and metrology labs to wind tunnels and rapid prototyping equipment. You’ll have the flexibility to tailor your course to your goals – choosing from a selection of modules to match your interests. Previous graduates have gone on to excel in a variety of engineering fields.
**How you learn**
All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.
You’ll benefit from our expert team’s wealth of experience – studying a combination of technical modules and advanced aspects of mechanical engineering.
You’ll apply your knowledge and skills to real-world contexts – actively engaging in work placements, live projects, field trips, networking events and competitions. These experiences will enhance your employability, deepen your understanding of the engineering and management fields, and prepare you to thrive in a dynamic and competitive professional landscape.
You learn through:
- Lab sessions
- Lectures
- Problem solving
- Critical reflection
- Group project work
- Independent study
- Assessments
- Coursework
- Seminars
- Tutorials
**Key Themes**
You’ll apply theories to real-life situations, whether within your organisation or through case studies. Practical work varies across formal lab sessions that explore relevant systems, processes or materials – which you’ll critically reflect on, and report your findings.
You’ll learn to apply modern computational methods – including finite elements modelling and analysis (FEM/FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
We’ll support and challenge you to grow as an independent learner who confidently uses contemporary materials. You’ll address increasingly open-ended problems, using your evolving knowledge, experience and decision-making skills. The MSc project is the ultimate stage, where you're expected to work reasonably independently under your supervisor's guidance.
