Summary

Overview

Drive your engineering career further with a Master's that works with your professional practice. You'll advance your understanding of core mechanical engineering disciplines, from structural integrity to control systems, and design your own project around your career needs.

On this MSc Mechanical Engineering, you'll apply current professional methodologies, assess the requirements of mechanical engineering applications, and find the optimal materials and methods to deliver your projects.

You'll plan and produce a personal research project, supported by staff expertise, that ties into the job you have - or the job you want. Previous projects have investigated the structural integrity of aerodynamic elements, the performance of natural bulletproof materials, and the effects of complex structures on fluid dynamics.

You can begin this course in September (full-time or part-time) or January (full-time only).

This course is accredited by European Engineering Programmes (EUR-ACE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

What you'll experience

On this course you'll:

  • Experiment with advanced materials (alloys, polymers, ceramics and composites) and energy engineering systems, using dedicated mechanical engineering labs and simulation software

  • Connect with your lecturers' industry partners, in the UK and abroad, and have the opportunity to investigate real-life industrial problems

  • Tie-in your individual project with one of our research groups, and benefit from the expertise of our experienced research staff

  • Research topics including aerospace materials, design engineering, polymers and composites, and energy engineering

Please note, if you're applying for this course as an international student, you'll need to have clearance under the Academic Tech Approval Scheme (ATAS). This is an extra security check made by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Careers and opportunities

When you graduate, you'll be qualified to work as a mechanical engineer in fields including design, research and development, manufacturing or the Armed Forces. You could choose to work in a small business within the mechanical engineering sector, or start your own specialist company. What can you do with a Mechanical Engineering degree?

Career opportunities include:

  • Mechanical engineer

  • Product design engineer

  • Aerospace engineer

  • Application engineer

  • Product manufacture

  • Project management

We'll provide you with as much support as possible in finding employment through close industrial contacts, careers events, recruitment fairs and individual advice.
