Modules in the first 2 years focus on the fundamentals of mechanical engineering. Youll gain the skills to apply your theoretical understanding to a wide range of real design problems.

In years 3 and 4 you'll extend your knowledge and skills by taking part in both individual and group projects.

You can select specialist modules in aerospace systems and engineering.

You'll take part in our award-winning induction programme and gain practical experience. Teams of new students work together to design and create. For example, you could take apart and put back together a 4 stroke engine.

The first year provides a background in engineering science, emphasising the mechanical engineering aspects. This includes a workshop training course.

Core modules cover topics such as:

You'll develop your design and programming skills, preparing you to design, build and test engineering systems, components and mechanisms.

You'll explore the main mechanical engineering subjects with tailored modules. This includes topics such as:

You'll also take part in a challenging design project, such as designing an autonomous robot or quadcopter.

You can apply to spend a semester abroad at the end of the year. We have several partner institutions that teach modules in English.

You'll undertake an individual project that usually takes the form of a design or research exercise.

You'll specialise in aerospace systems, with a mix of compulsory and optional modules including:

You'll take part in a group design project, these are often linked to current research activities or topics that have practical relevance to industry. You'll apply your conceptual engineering and scientific knowledge to an engineering design problem.

As a team, you'll develop your ideas through detailed design, experimentation, computer modelling and manufacture.

You'll study aircraft propulsion, and will also choose from optional modules, such as:

hypersonic flows

aircraft structures
