Mechanical Engineering MEng

• Overview

  This course enables you to develop a high degree of competence
  in mechanical engineering and pursue a wide range of careers.

  You will gain a sound knowledge of the fundamental elements of mechanical engineering and design which include a grounding in related disciplines such as manufacture, management, CAD/CAM, design and materials. The emphasis is on gaining industrial and commercial insight, and giving confidence to take on modern engineering challenges. The MEng route extends your technical understanding whilst developing management expertise and knowledge of business processes.

  Throughout the course you also have the opportunity to take modern European
  languages including French, German and Spanish.

• Course content

  Course structure

  In year 1, conceptual design, manufacture and testing are combined in a design
  project. We provide particular specialisation in design and product innovation.

  Design is an integrating subject, bringing together all the academic disciplines to solve typical engineering problems. It is project-based, often involving working in small groups, and developing not only engineering ability but also communication and graphics skills. After year 2 you may also opt for a year-long industrial placement

  The final two years comprise specialist options at BEng final year and masters level, and major individual and team projects which are often supported by industry. This course benefits from the strong industrial links established by many of the staff.

• Fees and costs

  The fees listed here are for full-time courses beginning in the academic year 2012-13. Further tuition fees are payable for each subsequent year of study.

  The tuition fee you have to pay depends on a number of factors including the kind of course you take, and whether you study full- or part-time. If you are studying part-time you will normally be charged on a pro rata basis depending on the number of modules you take. Different rules apply to research degrees - please contact the Doctoral College for advice.

  To help you plan for your time here we will be providing further information about what is included in your tuition fee, and any optional costs you may need to budget for, later in the autumn.
