MSc Mechanical Engineering (Advanced)

Course Overview

This course will provide graduates with advanced knowledge and understanding of Mechanical Engineering in three ways. Firstly, high-quality taught modules will introduce advanced Mechanical Engineering topics such as turbomachinery design, non-linear stress analysis, fluid mechanics, contact, and friction. Secondly, a substantial group design element will equip students with the ability to carry out the advanced design in multinational teams using appropriate design standards and sophisticated engineering analysis tools. Finally, a major research and development project allows the student to demonstrate the ability to work independently on a complex topic and demonstrate initiative in the solution of engineering challenges. Durham University has many researchers tackling problems relevant to industry and society. These are organized into three research challenges: sustainable infrastructure, future energy systems, and next-generation materials and microsystems. These are broad interdisciplinary challenges and will form the topics of many of the substantial projects that students will undertake. Durham students are uniquely placed to take advantage of a broad range of expertise in a general engineering department.

General Eligibility

To be admitted to the MSc course in Advanced Mechanical Engineering, you need the equivalent of a UK Honours degree to at least an upper second class standard (2:1).
