Integrated Masters - Master of Engineering (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering (Placement Year) (H301)

Mechanical Engineers apply core principles and advanced simulation tools to take ideas and concepts through to economical, sustainable and fit for purpose solutions. These challenges may be to improve healthcare, create inclusive and sustainable products or even develop the next generation of transportation. 

Mechanical Engineering students analyse a wide range of problems using fundamental engineering principles to develop systems that are not only theoretically proven but practically applied and tested. Students will learn in dedicated engineering facilities which are at the heart of a small rural campus, which offers many opportunities to apply their engineering skills to areas such as food production. agriculture and business. Assessment typically includes industry projects, use of simulation tools, creating and exhibiting new products, investigative portfolios and technical interview. 

From day one students will develop their problem-solving skills and produce practical solutions to real and difficult problems as an individual and as part of a team. Students will be encouraged to enter external challenges to open their eyes to how others work together and develop their understanding of global issues. Supported by an integrated placement year in industry, students will be primed for their future career using personal, technical and professional skills employers have identified with us as critical to their graduate employability in roles such as production specialist, advanced research engineer, environmental engineer, structural analyst. 

Graduates from the BEng (Hons) Programme will be highly capable of reliably managing and delivering solutions to complex engineering problems. MEng graduates, in addition to having developed a greater range and depth of knowledge at the forefront of the industry, will also have demonstrated the ability to identify improvement opportunities and to lead on the creation and dissemination of innovative solutions to complex problems.
