Course summary

Become a skilled mechanical engineer with real workplace experience. Our BEng Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Year will prepare you for an exciting career. Study with us and prepare for roles such as designing, manufacturing, installing and testing anything from nanoscale robots to spacecraft. You’ll learn to tackle engineering challenges and to play a role in building a sustainable future. Spend a year working in industry to explore and enhance your career options. This programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Our BEng programmes meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer, graduates will need to complete an approved format of further learning. From mechanics and computing sustainable energy, you’ll learn the essentials and then specialise in automotive subjects with this flexible programme. You’ll be able to attend lectures on industrial design projects from companies such as Rolls-Royce and Jaguar Land Rover. Benefit from learning in our state-of-the-art building with Design Centres and the Makerspace where you’ll apply your new skills in a practical training facility. You can even join student activity teams to design, build and race cars in global competitions. You’ll work alongside students in other engineering disciplines, so you graduate with interdisciplinary experience. Your degree will begin mostly with examinations, before shifting to continuous assessment in project work during later years. This will allow you to specialise after undertaking thorough grounding of engineering principles at the start of your studies. You'll receive plenty of feedback to help you progress, ranging from written feedback on your assessments to class feedback sessions and discussions with your tutor. The feedback will highlight the positives of your work as well as any areas that need more attention. You'll be assigned a personal tutor who'll remain with you throughout your studies to help you in three important areas: supporting your academic progress, developing transferable skills and dealing with any welfare issues. You'll also need to undertake a considerable amount of self study. It's an essential part of the programme, which requires self motivation and enthusiasm for your subject. It also allows you to pursue your own lines of enquiry and become an independent thinker.
