Course summary
**Overview**With huge advances in technologies for transport, healthcare and robotics, there’s never been a more exciting time to train as a mechanical engineer.This 4-year MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering integrated Master's degree course is similar to our 3- year BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course. The difference is you'll study more advanced topics leading to a Master's degree at the end of the course.You'll study the design, development, manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of engineered products. You'll get to specialise in advanced subjects such as sustainable development and computer-aided engineering and have the option to get involved in the University's Formula Student racing team.In your final year, you'll complete a major group engineering project. This is normally linked to the University's research and commercial activities, giving you relevant experience in the field.**Accredited by:**This course is accredited by European Engineering Programmes (EUR-ACE) and Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) meeting in full the academic requirement for registration as CEng.This course is currently going through the process of re-accreditation with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).96% Graduates in work or further study (DLHE, 2017)96% Overall student satisfaction (NSS, 2018)**What you'll experience**On this course you'll:- Learn about the underlying elements of successful engineering and manufacturing projects, including solid mechanics and dynamics, and engineering design- Complete a team project in your final year- Use our CAD and rapid prototyping suites, energy systems lab, stress analysis lab, and metrology and 3D scanning microscopy facilities- Get the chance to be involved in Formula Student, where you'll design, construct and test a competitive race car with fellow students- Put your skills to the test by building your own products in our manufacturing workshops- Have the option to expand your learning and meet potential employers by working on an industrial project**Careers and opportunities**There's currently a shortage of talented engineers in the UK and abroad, so there will be many opportunities open to you when you graduate.What can you do with a Mechanical Engineering degree?Previous graduates have gone on to work in areas including:- design- research and development- product manufacture- project managementWhat jobs can you do with a Mechanical Engineering degree?Graduates from this course have gone on to work as:- mechanical engineer- product design engineer- aerospace engineer- application engineerOther graduates have set up successful businesses with help and support from the University.After you leave the University, you can get help, advice and support for up to 5 years from our Careers and Employability service as you advance in your career."Formula Student has given me the confidence in my ability as an engineer, as components that I have designed were built and proven to withstand their environment."
