Equipped for success
Preparing to work in a fast-changing industry, you’ll be equipped with a range of technical, creative and management skills. Our expert academics will also support you to think innovatively and work confidently in our state-of-the-art labs. From our combustion lab to advanced robotics lab.
We’re recognised globally for our research, creating new technology and writing publications as a result. And we’re keen to encourage forward thinking in your work too.
You’ll start exploring your options and growing your network throughout the course. We regularly bring in industry partners and guest speakers from big businesses including BP, BAE and Rolls-Royce. Government organisation, NGO, or healthcare institution – prepare to secure exciting work as a graduate engineer.
Our Mechanical Engineering programmes have been accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAES) under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.
Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).
An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Our BEng programmes meet the academic requirements for IEng and our MEng programmes meet the academic requirements for CEng.
Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
