Mechanical engineers are recognised for their knowledge and skills in conceiving, designing, implementing and operating devices, machines, engines and energy systems.
You'll learn how to design aircraft engines, control systems, and landing gear and the many complex parts that sustain flight.
Many of the aero-related topics, such as aerodynamics and lightweight structures, are of particular interest and value to a wide variety of engineering activities outside the field of aeronautics.
Graduates from the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering - consistently rated in the top 10 such departments in the UK - are part of a new breed of engineer who can take on challenges ranging from traditional industries to areas such as new materials, sustainable development and aerospace.
Studying abroad is an option for all Mechanical Engineering courses.
