Course Overview

Northumbria Universitys Mechanical Engineering course is essential for the automotive, aeronautical, robotics, construction, software, oil/ gas, manufacturing, renewable energy, and building services sectors. There are currently shortages of mechanical engineers and, by taking this undergraduate course, youll have plenty of career options. The first year of the course provides a foundational grounding in engineering. Youll then study more advanced principles of mechanics, manufacturing technology, energy systems, and engineering design, potentially working on projects with companies such as Nissan, BAE Systems, and Airbus. We encourage you to spend a full year in the industry between your second and final years. This BEng (Hons) course will meet part of the academic requirement to be a Chartered Engineer, which is associated with higher salaries. You can meet the requirement in full by studying for an additional year and gaining an MEng (Hons). If you know from the start that youd prefer an MEng, please apply for MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering instead of this course.
