Do you want to solve complex problems and shape a more sustainable, efficient future? Our MEng Mechanical Engineering degree equips you with the skills and knowledge to make a difference in industries ranging from aerospace and renewable energy to medicine and Formula 1. Mechanical engineering innovations touch every part of our lives, from the cars we drive to how our food is processed. With outstanding graduate outcomes, competitive salaries and diverse career opportunities in industries such as renewable energy, manufacturing and aerospace, this degree prepares you to stand out. Our MEng course is the preferred route to achieving Chartered Engineer status. It will give you a deeper understanding of the role of mechanical engineering compared to our BEng course. As a MEng Mechanical Engineering student, you'll gain hands-on experience with well-equipped facilities including robotics labs, the immersive VR teaching suite and 3D printing facilities, and apply your knowledge through individual and group projects. This is a four-year course and you will spend your third year studying abroad. ### Course highlights * Accredited by leading professional bodies including IMechE and IED. * Practical learning through innovative modules and real-world projects, with the flexibility to specialise in areas like aerospace, automotive, sustainability and more in your final year. * Opportunities to engage in **impactful research** in sustainable energy and advanced materials. ### Proven results * Top 15 in the UK for mechanical engineering ([The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026](https://www.thetimes.com/uk-university-rankings/league-table) and the [Complete University Guide 2026](https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/mechanical-engineering)). * 92.6% of mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering undergraduates secured graduate level employment or further study within 15 months of graduation (HESA Graduate Outcomes 2021/22-2022/23).
