The BEng Mechanical Engineering degree at Canterbury Christ Church University provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of mechanical engineering. The course covers a wide range of topics, including thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, dynamics and control, and engineering design. Students will gain practical experience through laboratory sessions and project work, and will have the opportunity to specialize in areas such as energy, transportation, or manufacturing. Graduates of this program will be well-prepared for careers in industry, research, or academia.
Our course is designed to meet the needs of both UK and international students, with a range of entry points throughout the year. We offer flexible study options, including part-time and distance learning, as well as opportunities for work placements and study abroad programs. Our faculty members are experienced practitioners in their fields and have a strong commitment to teaching and research.
Canterbury Christ Church University is located in the historic city of Canterbury, with easy access to London and Europe. Our campus is set in 70 acres of parkland, providing a peaceful and inspiring environment for learning. We have a strong focus on sustainability and ethical practice, and are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive community for all students.
If you want to work at the cutting-edge of engineering, developing and designing the components and machinery used in manufacturing, construction, and other industries, then this is the course for you.
You will use the pioneering CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) approach to problem-solve mechanical engineering issues. The CDIO approach is an international engineering education model, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find creative, evaluated solutions to industry-related engineering challenges. We are one of the only handful of universities in the UK to offer CDIO.
It offers you real-world applications of science, technology, and maths where you'll take genuine problems proposed by the industry and apply your practical skills and technical knowledge to solve them, working with engineering experts along the way.
Upon completion of the course, you'll be skilled in professional engineering practice and prepared to work as an effective, industry-ready engineer who is on track to become an Incorporated Engineer.
20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
