Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: H302

Here's what University of Warwick says about its Mechanical Engineering course.

If you are curious about how things work and have a keen mind for applying what you learn to solve real-world problems, engineering is the perfect career for you. This degree establishes a sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles and develops the expertise to design and create sustainable, cutting-edge technologies.

This course is accredited by the IET, and IMechE and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website.

Mechanical systems, mechanisms and machines lie at the heart of our traditional engineering industries, and the skills and techniques associated with them continue to be essential.

In recent years, these skills have extended into areas such as precision engineering, nanotechnology and mechatronics, as mechanical engineers have broadened their abilities and embraced technologies from other disciplines to solve difficult problems.

We provide opportunities to learn from world-leading researchers at the School of Engineering and WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) in areas such as precision mechanics, fluid dynamics and sustainable thermal energy technology, as well as complementary areas in other fields of engineering.

By choosing the MEng degree you can explore specialist areas of Mechanical Engineering through fourth-year module choices and a group project.
