Mechanical Engineering MSc

The Mechanical Engineering MSc develops your knowledge and skills in mechanical engineering. You have the opportunity to undertake in-depth studies through your research projects.

We are currently enhancing our taught programmes to:

provide more industrial context
offer more flexibility and choice
deliver an enhanced educational experience.

About this course

This course is intended for honours graduates (or an international equivalent) in mechanical or mechanical-related engineering (eg automotive, aeronautical or design), maths, physics or a related discipline.

The taught part of the course consists of major engineering themes such as:

energy sources and storage
manufacturing
vehicle drives and dynamics
computational methods
engineering software

You will develop skills in:

mechanical engineering principles, practices, materials, components and systems
research and information retrieval
data collection
critical evaluation and effective application
current and developing practices in the field

Your project is chosen from an extensive range of subjects. Project work can range from fundamental studies in areas of basic engineering science to practical design, make and test investigations.

General areas for project work include:

design and manufacture
thermo-fluid dynamics
composite materials
bioengineering and biomaterials
microelectronic-Mechanical Systems
mathematical and computational engineering modelling

Some research may be undertaken in collaboration with industry.
