BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Develop exciting new technologies and keep our world moving as a mechanical engineer. With our BEng Mechanical Engineering you’ll prepare for a wide-ranging career with global opportunities.
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.
Accredited programme
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 to 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.
