BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering*

Standard offer: 112 UCAS Tariff points

Learn in blocks of six weeks at a time, on campus 2.5 days a week.

Learn through block delivery. This means you will study one module at a time across a 6-week period, allowing you to fully immerse yourself and get a deeper understanding of each subject. This style reflects how engineers work and shifts away from traditional models of teaching where students are expected to study multiple modules at one time.

Gain skills that industry need. You will tackle real-world challenges that are co-designed with industry partners, developing skills that the workforce needs. You will also receive feedback and mentorship from industry professionals on your work throughout the course.

Get experience in the workplace. Work experience modules are factored into the course, as well as the opportunity to study abroad so that everyone leaves with practical work experience to take forward into a career. In addition to this, you will have the opportunity to do a professional placement year after year two, to spend a year in industry before returning to complete your final year.

Immerse yourself in practical learning. Each module includes hands-on, project-based tasks that enable you to conceive, design, implement and operate solutions based on the CDIO (Conceive Design Implement Operate) framework. This framework will transform you to think and act like an engineer and integrates professional skills into every aspect of work to ensure you graduate for industry.

Be assessed through competency and not traditional exams or lectures. You will be assessed through your practical outputs that reflect real-world engineering and industry expectations to ensure that your learning transitions seamlessly into a future career

Develop sustainability and digital knowledge. You will create solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and use cutting-edge technology in modules looking at Smart Grids, Sustainable Energy, IoT, Cyber-Physical Systems, Digital Twins, and Artificial Intelligence to stay ahead of engineering innovation.

Employability into graduate level engineering jobs across all industries. For example, manufacturing, mechanical, automotive, electrical, electronics, power, transport and food.
