Mechanical Engineering - BEng (Hons)

This three-year course covers the theoretical principles of mechanical engineering alongside practical design work. The first two years are the same across our Mechanical Engineering degrees and focus on the essential principles of mechanical engineering, as well as law and management, systems design, and modelling and computing, in order to take a product from initial concept to the marketplace. Modules in your third year will allow you to extend your knowledge in areas that suit your own interests, from orthopaedic biomechanics to automobile systems. You will also carry out an individual project, bringing together the concepts and skills you have learned.You will have access to extensive facilities, which include the largest wind tunnel in any UK university, a high-resolution 3D imaging centre, dedicated student design studios and workshops, and a materials and structures research facility in our new National Infrastructure Laboratory.Our courses are fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and offer a route to chartered status.

A-levels: A*AA including mathematics (minimum grade A) and physics (minimum grade A), with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed). International Baccalaureate Diploma: Pass, with 38 points overall with 19 points required at Higher Level, including 6 at Higher Level in Physics and 6 at Higher Level in Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches) or 7 at Higher Level in Mathematics (Applications and Interpretation); Applicants who have not studied the required subjects can apply for the Engineering/Physics/Mathematics Foundation Year. RQF BTEC: D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus grades A*A in A-level mathematics and physics (the A* can be in either subject), with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed); or D* in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus grades AA in A-level mathematics and physics, with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed); we will consider the BTEC National Diploma if studied alongside A-levels in mathematics and physics; we will consider the BTEC National Extended Diploma in Engineering if studied alongside A-level mathematics. QCF BTEC: D in the BTEC Subsidiary Diploma plus A*A in A-level mathematics and physics (the A* can be in either subject), with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed); or D* in the BTEC Subsidiary Diploma plus AA in A-level mathematics and physics, with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed); we will consider the BTEC Diploma if studied alongside A-levels in mathematics and physics; we will consider the BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering if studied alongside A-level mathematics. GCSE requirements: Applicants must hold GCSE English language (or GCSE English) (minimum grade 4/C) and mathematics (minimum grade 4/C).
