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.
Live Projects
You’ll be able to engage in exciting live projects throughout the course. These projects allow you to apply your knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios, working on design challenges and problem-solving tasks.
Collaborating with industry partners, you’ll gain practical experience in managing projects, working in interdisciplinary teams and delivering innovative solutions. These are great opportunities to develop your creativity alongside a holistic understanding of the engineering and management field.
Networking Opportunities
You’ll have various opportunities to connect with professionals and experts in the mechanical engineering field.
You’ll have access to guest lectures, industry conferences, workshops and alumni events – chances to interact with leading practitioners, researchers and thought leaders.
