Mechanical Engineering - MEng (Hons)

Manchester Metropolitan University

With this four-year integrated masters course, you’ll go on a journey from fundamental engineering principles all the way through to live, practical projects that are informed by our active research and industrial partnerships. This means that by the time you graduate, you’ll already have experience of the latest engineering challenges faced by industry and society. In your first year you will get a grounding in the fundamental theories of engineering science and applied mathematics, as well as learning practical and project skills. Then, through the study of solid mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, you will begin to develop your scientific and analytical skills. What’s more, every year throughout your studies at Manchester Met, you will have the chance to get involved with projects rooted in our research with potential employers and research teams – giving you valuable experience for your career development. As you progress, you’ll take on multi-disciplinary project work, adopting one of several specialist roles – just like you would in the workplace. So, by the time you tackle your final year group engineering project, you’ll be well-equipped to design, develop, evaluate and present a specialist engineering solution to a significant, current problem. **FEATURES AND BENEFITS**- This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) under licence from the UK Regulator, The Engineering Council. - 100% of our research impact in Engineering is world-leading or internationally excellent - and 75% is at the highest 4* level (REF 2021).- The five-year placement route offers the opportunity to spend your third year working on a placement with a relevant employer – gaining the skills and experience that can boost your career prospects.- This course shares a common first and second year with our BEng degrees in mechanical engineering and a common first year with our MEng and BEng degrees in electrical and electronic engineering, so you may be able to transfer between courses.- Every year, we invite businesses and academic colleagues to set live projects that challenge our students to devise innovative solutions to current problems. You’ll get feedback and advice directly from industry experts – giving you the chance to find out exactly what it takes to impress a potential future employer.- Showcase your engineering and design skills in extra-curricular group projects like the Formula Student racing car competition.- We’ve invested over £115 million to transform the way we teach and the way our students learn. The new Dalton building is equipped with dynamic learning spaces, world-class teaching and research facilities and collaborative study zones. This means you’ll graduate with the skills and experiences employers look for. - Get fully trained on how to use our workshops, laboratories and specialist engineering software.- You will have access to regular online video support, which provides additional explanation and guidance on a range of topics, from coursework and exam paper guidance to software tutorials.
