Summary Fees & Bursaries

Does improving the functional design of mechanical products and learning how to design products to challenge the best in the world sound like the degree for you? Much of this course is based around real problem solving, both group and individual projects.

The course aims to equip Mechanical Engineering Design graduates with the background necessary to develop a career as a Chartered Engineer.  An Engineer able to develop and apply advanced technology in the design, development and validation of mechanical products.

You will be provided with the tools and techniques necessary to achieve your potential. You will be shown how to produce an idea for product development or how to decide if improvement is necessary.

You will learn to use modern design methods including computer-aided design, together with dedicated specialist subjects. To achieve this you will be taught in a problem-based environment and will be encouraged to develop the skills and attitudes needed to work efficiently in a multidisciplinary design team.

As this is a sandwich course you will be offered the invaluable opportunity to spend a year in industry during your third year at University.

Reasons to choose Mechanical Engineering Design MEng/BEng Honours degree

  • The course is *accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers so you will achieve Chartered Engineer status if you complete appropriate modules successfully and gain suitable industrial experience
  • Your employment prospects can be greatly enhanced if you have a Chartered Engineering approved degree.
  • Much of the course is based around real automotive projects sharpening your problem-solving, teamwork and leadership skills
  • You are encouraged to take an invaluable placement year in industry during your third year

*Professional Recognition

  • The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers; you will be able to achieve Chartered Engineer status if you complete appropriate modules successfully and gain suitable industrial experience.
  • Chartered Engineer status means that you will be able to use the designation CEng MIMechE after your name and that you will be accepted as a professional Engineer and eligible to apply for the European qualification of EurIng.

Future prospects

Graduates from this course will find their skills and personal qualities in good demand by a wide spectrum of employers.

Some students may be offered employment by their placement Company and sponsorship for their final year of study.  

Mechanical Engineering Design is been based on the successful Automotive Engineering Design course, which has an excellent employment record.  

Entry requirements

5 GCSEs at grade A-C and 260 Tariff points from 2 or more 6-unit awards including Mathematics and Engineering, Physics or Design and Technology or equivalent qualifications.
