BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Learn to apply in-demand engineering expertise to real industry needs in aerospace energy and manufacturing for a safer, cleaner future. Develop essential practical skills in our specialist labs and workshops, featuring professional-grade facilities for complex system design and prototyping. Benefit from our advanced training based on practice, alongside dedicated academic advisers and opportunities to meet employers. Mechanical engineering is about solving real-world problems through creativity and innovation. It is crucial to the advancement of technology, the enhancement of human well-being, and the promotion of sustainable development. You'll develop skills that could help you develop energy-efficient systems to minimise waste, reduce energy consumption or mitigate environmental impact. You'll also learn financial, strategic and project management - equipping you with the skills to manage complex engineering projects and lead multidisciplinary teams. At Sussex, we undertake world-class research, which enriches your teaching. Our Energy and Materials Engineering Research Centre, for example, has specialisms in dynamics and control, thermofluids, energy efficiency, energy storage, materials, and manufacturing.
