MEng Mechanical Engineering
Entry requirements
A level: A*AA (Mathematics and Physics required. A* must be in one of the required subjects. Design and Technology, Engineering, Economics, Geography, Chemistry and Biology preferred as a third subject (in that order), but not essential.) IB: 39 points (A total of 19 points in three higher level subjects including 7, 6 required in Mathematics and Physics in any order, with no higher level score below 5. The course will accept either ‘Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches’ or ‘Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation’ at higher level. Higher level Design and Technology, Engineering, Economics, Geography, Chemistry and Biology preferred as third subject (in that order).)
About this course
MEng in Mechanical Engineering, a mechanical engineering degree focused on engineering principles and technical design. Core topics include Programming and Mathematical Modelling. This four-year integrated master's degree includes a final-year group design project and an individual project. The first year covers core subjects through Engineering Challenges, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, Fundamentals of Materials, and Thermofluids I. The second year introduces further analysis through Mechanics of Solids and Structures, Engineering Materials: Failures and Design, and Vibrations and Control, alongside optional choices such as Intelligent Systems and Introduction to Robotics. The third year involves advanced study via Thermofluids III and Advanced Mechanics of Solids and Structures, with options including Computational Fluid Dynamics and Instrumentation and Control. The final year centres on the MEng Capstone Group Design Project and Financial Aspects of Project Engineering, alongside optional modules such as Autonomous Vehicles, New and Renewable Energy Systems, and Biofluids and Medical Devices.
