COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Mechanical Engineering builds advanced technical, analytical, and design skills through a set of specialist modules that combine theory with industry-focused applications. Engineering Business Management develops essential knowledge of leadership, organisation, and project management within engineering industries. Composite Design and Impact Modelling focuses on the behaviour of materials and structures under high-impact conditions, with applications in motorsport and vehicle engineering, including design, testing, and simulation. Advanced Strength of Components develops expertise in fatigue and fracture analysis, enabling students to predict failure mechanisms and improve component durability. Advanced Mechanical Engineering Design enhances complex problem-solving abilities using interdisciplinary design methods, including TRIZ principles for innovative engineering solutions. Noise, Vibration and Harshness examines how to analyse and reduce unwanted mechanical and automotive vibrations and acoustic effects. Real-time Embedded Systems introduces low-level control systems used in robotics and automation, focusing on integrating sensors, actuators, and controllers for real-world applications. The program concludes with a substantial MSc Dissertation, where students undertake an in-depth research or industry-linked project in a specialised area of mechanical engineering. This allows them to apply advanced software, experimental methods, and research techniques while working with industrial partners when possible. Overall, the course develops highly skilled engineers prepared for complex roles in automotive, aerospace, robotics, and advanced manufacturing sectors.
