Mechanical Engineering - BEng (Hons)

University of Huddersfield

Mechanical Engineering is behind virtually all aspects of our daily lives and impacts the functioning of many of the systems, machines, and products we rely upon. A degree in Mechanical Engineering could open the door to a wide range of challenging and rewarding career opportunities with vast earning potential that will allow you to contribute to a more sustainable future. Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), which will help you toward achieving Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status or Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, this course is designed to give you flexibility in your choice of engineering career pathways after graduation. You’ll study the fundamental principles of mechanics, dynamics, heat transfer and fluid flow with design, manufacturing, and business considerations. **Why Study Mechanical Engineering BEng(Hons) at University of Huddersfield?** Following your second year, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in an optional industry work placement, where you’ll put your knowledge into practice, gain invaluable real-world work experience and boost your post-graduate employability. You’ll learn from the best on this course, as the University of Huddersfield has been rated Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023. In the fourth year of the course, you’ll work on a supervised individual research project. It’s possible to align this with one of the Master’s team projects, which involve the design, building and friendly competitive testing of either a road, airborne or rail vehicle – for example, Team HARE, Team Hawk or HudRail. **Professional Bodies** This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and fully meets the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng), and partly meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). **Why Huddersfield?** Huddersfield’s vibrant and friendly campus is a great place from which to study, while the town itself offers lots to see and do, with good transport links in and around the area.
