About the Mechanical Engineering Discipline

Mechanical Engineering is the most general of the disciplines within our School. Its research and teaching activities include power generation, noise and vibration, flow analysis and measurement, land transport vehicles and composite structures. Our graduates can be found in the automotive industry (design and production), building services, acoustics consultancies, structural design of cranes, design of railway vehicles and rail systems, design of consumer goods and management consultancies.

Our mechanical engineering undergraduate degree plan shares its first two years with the other four in the School and no choice is required until third year. The Faculty flexible first year entry allows even more choice of program during the first two semesters. Final year features a large component of electives. Many combined degrees are available too, as are postgraduate coursework and research degrees.
