Course summary


Unlock your creative potential and build technical expertise with a degree in Mechanical Engineering that will help you become a highly skilled, work-ready graduate. Work at the cutting-edge of engineering, developing and designing the components and machinery used in manufacturing, construction and other industries, and begin your path to becoming an engineer.

With the foundation year, you'll build a strong academic base. You'll learn essential skills in mathematics, programming, applied science, and engineering, all of which are key to your success in the main degree.

This year is all about preparing you, so you are ready to handle the challenges of the engineering course with confidence. It will also help you grasp the fundamental concepts, making your move into the full degree smooth and successful.

With a Mechanical Engineering course at CCCU you’ll gain strong analytical and problem-solving skills to devise efficient, effective, and sustainable solutions to key engineering problems. You’ll interact with the simplest of engineering things, such as nuts and bolts, as well as the most complex structures, such as gigantic machinery, and the highly intricate human body

You’ll use the pioneering CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) approach to problem solve mechanical engineering issues. It allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find creative, evaluated solutions to industry related engineering challenges. We are one of the only handful of universities in the UK to offer CDIO.

It offers you real-world application of science, technology and maths where you'll take genuine problems proposed by the industry and apply your practical skills and technical knowledge to solve them, working with engineering experts along the way.

On completion of the course, you'll be skilled in professional engineering practice and prepared to work as an effective, industry-ready engineer who is on track to become an incorporated engineer.
