MEng Mechanical Engineering / Materials
We've changed some parts of this course for the 2020 to 2021 academic year due to coronavirus (COVID-19). These changes may affect how we'll teach you and which modules you'll take.
Choosing the correct materials is crucial to the success or failure of an engineering project. On this 4-year, integrated master's, you'll explore the properties and uses of common and new mechanical engineering materials. You'll develop the skills to design materials and surfaces, from the atomic level up to their application. This advanced course will help you find a rewarding career as a Chartered Engineer.
This course focuses on mechanics, structures and materials, and how they are managed. It will inspire you to use your knowledge and skills to address real mechanical and material engineering needs in society, in areas like:
transport
housing
recreation
food processing
medicine
You'll explore material use, including their design and manufacture, and you'll study how they behave throughout their service.
As part of this course you can:
showcase your work in our annual Engineering Design Show
choose from a range of optional modules, including microstructural and surface characterisation, and aircraft structures
put your skills into practice with an individual project and final year group design project
work with students from other engineering specialisms
The course draws on research from the Engineering Materials Research Group, which is actively involved in a broad range of activities in the advanced materials field.
We're a designated university for the Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme (DTUS).
Enhance your employability by taking this course with a paid industrial placement year.
Apply using:
You'll spend this extra year at an engineering firm, applying the skills and knowledge you've learned so far.
The fee is 20% of the standard annual tuition fee.
