BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

Solent University’s mechanical engineering programme focuses on applied engineering principles and places a strong emphasis on employability. Our experienced course team will help you to develop the range of theory-based, professional and hands-on skills that employers in the industry are looking for.

The engineering academic group’s extensive network of industry contacts has provided past students with the opportunity to work on live briefs, helping them to develop analytical, problem-solving, team working and business and management skills. These elements can help students develop a range of transferable skills and help to ensure they are well-prepared for a professional working environment.

This course aims to provide students with the knowledge employers will require, from essential engineering concepts to mechanics, drawing, CAD and manufacturing skills. Critically, past students have been able to gain insight into real-life engineering problems, tackling projects defined for them by our network of industry contacts.
