About this course
Your engineering career starts at Edge Hill University. Discover the core disciplines of mechanical engineering, programming and applied mathematics. Prepare for industry by immersing yourself in the technology underpinning a range of mechanical systems, theories and instrumentation techniques.
Working as a mechanical engineer is all about designing equipment, developing prototypes and evaluating tools. Think it might be the career for you? At Edge Hill, we’ll prepare you to solve real-world challenges facing fast-growing sectors like transport, defence and robotics.
We’ve designed a degree that will prepare you for different aspects of mechanical engineering. Think exciting areas like automated manufacture, computer-aided engineering and applied industrial engineering. There are plenty of possibilities in this field.
Thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, computing technologies and mechatronics are just a few of the areas you’ll explore. We’ll also spend time helping you become confident with the rapidly changing world of mechanical engineering.
You’ll graduate as a skilled professional with knowledge in everything from programming to control theory, modelling to professional practice. With skills sought after by organisations across sectors, you’ll be able to manage the design and development of mechanical engineering systems.
Modules

Assessment methods
You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, reports, essays, presentations and examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes both of these forms, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
