Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering

The BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree is designed for those interested in innovation, design, and problem-solving, offering pathways in applied Automotive and applied Manufacturing engineering.

The course takes a practical, industry-focused approach to learning, with no traditional lectures or exams. Instead, students engage in hands-on, project-based activities that address real-world engineering challenges across sectors such as automotive and transport, manufacturing, technology, energy, and construction.

Developed in collaboration with industry, the programme ensures that graduates gain both core technical knowledge and key employability skills, including communication, leadership, and teamwork, preparing them for professional engineering roles.

The first year provides a broad foundation in engineering principles, introducing students to different disciplines and supporting them in selecting a pathway for further study in later years.

An optional professional placement year is available between the second and third years of study, offering valuable industry experience. Students are responsible for securing their placement, supported by the university’s careers services and employer networks. Those who successfully obtain a placement can transfer to the placement version of the course.

The degree equips graduates with the practical skills, technical expertise, and professional awareness needed to succeed in the evolving field of mechanical engineering.
