Course summary
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 Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering will provide you with the enhanced training needed to become a key influencer and industry leader overseeing the transformation of a sustainability-focused future. The career options are vast and with significant earnings potential which will allow you to create the life you want in the 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 MEng course is designed to give you flexibility in your choice of engineering career pathways after graduation, ranging from renewable energy systems to critical medical appliances. You’ll study the fundamental principles of mechanics, dynamics, heat transfer and fluid flow with design, manufacturing, and business considerations.
