MEng Mechanical Engineering (Systems)

This course focuses on the design, development and operation of complex mechanical systems, including those found in aerospace, automotive, and energy industries. Students will learn how to analyze and optimize system performance, as well as how to model and simulate their behavior. The course also covers topics such as materials science, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of mechanical systems and their applications.

Additional Information

Students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including wind tunnels, 3D printing equipment, and simulation software. They will also benefit from the expertise of experienced lecturers with industry experience.

Leading the Way in Mechanical Engineering Education

Canterbury Christ Church University is a leading provider of mechanical engineering education in the UK. The university's location in Canterbury provides students with easy access to industry partners, internship opportunities, and potential employers. Additionally, the university's commitment to sustainability and ethical practices aligns with the values of many modern engineers.

It also allows you to get involved in solving problems facing businesses in the real world, using the pioneering ‘Concept, Design, Implementation and Operation’ (CIDO) approach.

CDIO 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.

You will gain key employability skills and be encouraged to take up placements, helping you to go straight into employment upon completion of your studies.

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 a Chartered Engineer.

Through project work, you will develop as an independent thinker and you will gain practical and transferable skills that will help you work effectively in an engineering team. You'll also develop leadership and management skills that will support you in pursuing a senior engineering role.

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
