We are committed to providing students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for their future careers.

In this course, you can unlock your creative potential and build technical expertise to help you become a highly-skilled, work-ready graduate.

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 (IMechE).

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.
