This MSc Mechanical Engineering program intends to help you further your engineering career by improving your knowledge of core mechanical engineering subjects like structural integrity and control systems. You will create and produce a personal research project that meets your career needs by utilizing current methodologies, assessing application requirements, and identifying appropriate materials and procedures. Previous initiatives investigated the structural integrity of aerodynamic elements, the performance of natural fireproof materials, and the influence of complex structures on fluid dynamics.

Entry Requirements
A second-class honours degree in a relevant subject, or equivalent professional experience and/or qualifications.
English language proficiency at a minimum of IELTS band 6.0 with no component score below 5.5.
ATAS Certificate Required
Career Prospects
Mechanical engineering graduates can work in a variety of disciplines, including design, research & development, production, and the military. Product design, aeronautical engineering, application engineering, product manufacturing, and project management are all viable career options. Industrial contacts, career events, recruitment fairs, and individual assistance all help people find work.
Course Details
Master's degrees may require more time for students due to work or family responsibilities. The course structure includes 3 years for part-time study, 12 months for full-time study starting in September, and 16 months for full-time study starting in January. Students can expect 10 hours of teaching time per week, with 20 hours of independent study per week. The last 3 months of the course will focus on a research project. Master's studies are deeper and more specialized than undergraduate degrees, allowing students to focus on a topic that matters to them and their career. Independent study and research are more common, but teaching time will be primarily in-person and face-to-face. Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory sessions, and project work. These indications are subject to change.
