Course summary
This mechanical engineering degree will give you a strong foundation in a range of traditional mechanical engineering topics, and is accredited as fully satisfying the educational base to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). It’s a wide ranging mechanical engineering degree that will develop your understanding of the field and your ability to solve engineering problems independently.
You’ll study basic principles used by engineering professionals and how they work in practice. So, you will understand how what you learn in the classroom can be applied in real-life to find solutions to everyday problems. This mechanical engineering qualification is accredited by professional bodies, ensuring that what you learn relates directly to industry standards. The diverse nature of this mechanical engineering course also means you could establish a career in many areas of industry, such as production, process and manufacturing engineering. Our mechanical engineering degree is the ideal course for engineers who want career progression and not remain a specialist in technical areas throughout their career.
