Mechanical Engineering with a Year Abroad

UCAS code: H309

Here's what Swansea University says about its Mechanical Engineering with a Year Abroad course.

Mechanical engineers are found in every aspect of the engineering industry. They are innovative professionals, transforming ideas into inventions. Mechanical Engineering is a key discipline in today’s highly technological society, and mechanical engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of almost everything you see or touch.

This degree will train you for a rewarding career in a wide range of engineering sectors and develop the key skills required to become a professional engineer. You will gain the ability to use analytical skills and tools to formulate and solve problems relevant to the application of engineering to industry. The degree will also provide a foundation for you to aim for the prized Chartered Engineer status.

Mechanical Engineering Facilities include: A Dynamics Mechanics Laboratory, Fluids Laboratory, and Jet Cat Engine Test Room
