Key Summary

About : The MSc in Mechanical Engineering offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to enhance your skills in engineering analysis, design, and research methodologies. The program typically lasts for one year and prepares you to tackle complex engineering problems with a strong emphasis on practical knowledge and theoretical foundations. You'll engage in hands-on projects and gain access to advanced laboratories and cutting-edge technologies.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can expect to pursue a variety of careers in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and energy. Potential job roles include mechanical engineer, design engineer, project manager, and research and development engineer, offering a diverse range of opportunities in both industry and academia.

The MSc is a 12-month, 90 ECTS Level 9 Masters in Mechanical Engineering, which will take engineering (BE) and closely-related graduates to an advanced level of mechanical engineering capability, focusing on advanced design, analysis, materials and manufacture via state-of-the-art technology.

The programme is designed to meet the international demand for Level 9 qualifications. This course offers a broad range of advanced engineering modules, including advanced applied mathematics and advanced computational modelling, as well as industry-specific advanced modules in manufacturing technology, offshore engineering, energy and medical device development and materials. A substantial 12-month research thesis allows the students to implement new research skills developed within a specially-designed module on engineering research methods, including publication of the research findings. Each MSc project focuses on a current ‘hot topic’ in mechanical engineering industry and is carried out in collaboration with industry partners.
