COURSE CURRICULUM

The Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) program is structured to develop both technical knowledge and practical skills while preparing students for professional engineering careers. In the first year, students build a foundation in core subjects including engineering analytics, materials and manufacturing, applied engineering approaches, statics and dynamics, and thermodynamics, with academic language support available for international and EU students. The second year advances this knowledge through modules in mechanics and finite element analysis, mechanical engineering design, integrative engineering approaches, fluids and energy, and engineering project management, with optional preparation for placements and continued language support. These modules combine theory with practical problem-solving, design work, and project management skills, ensuring students gain real-world engineering experience. The third year focuses on advanced and applied topics, including professional engineering futures and vibration and control, alongside optional modules in mechanics of continuous systems, sustainable energy systems, automation and mechatronics, and global design challenges. Students also complete a substantial investigative project, applying their technical expertise to solve complex engineering problems. This progression equips graduates with the knowledge, practical skills, and professional awareness required to work effectively in mechanical engineering fields such as design, manufacturing, energy, and automation, while understanding ethical, sustainable, and societal implications, and prepares them for potential career advancement into engineering management or further professional accreditation.
