Course summary
This is a specialist programme which develops your knowledge and understanding of key theories and methods that underpin Mechanical Engineering and their intelligent application to solving industrial problems. This includes development of new technologies to meet engineering challenges of the future. Driven by our industrial work and research, the course draws upon the heritage of Mechanical Engineering in the region and internationally recognised research in areas such as aerospace composites, polymers, advanced metal forming and nanotechnology. You will build your skills and knowledge in finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics, advanced manufacturing and design optimisation of mechanical systems with the opportunity to specialise in manufacturing systems, CAE for managers, polymer technology, composite optimisation, product process optimisation, entrepreneurship and quality improvement. You will demonstrate advanced depth and integration of specialist Mechanical Engineering knowledge by successfully undertaking and completing a major dissertation based on original research or the implementation of new and advanced processes, procedures, and technologies into the industrial environment.
Entry requirements
PgDip - Normally, an Honours or non-Honours degree or postgraduate diploma/certificate in a relevant engineering, technology or science discipline. In exceptional circumstances, where an individual has substantial and significant working/industrial experience, a portfolio of written evidence may be considered as an alternative entrance route. It is possible to transfer onto the MSc version of the course after successfully completing the PGDip. MSc - Specific details on the admission criteria can be found at the course webpage provided below. Normally, a second class honours degree or better in a relevant engineering, science, physics or technology discipline. Or a postgraduate diploma/certificate in a relevant engineering or technology discipline. In exceptional circumstances, where an individual has substantial and significant working/industrial experience, a portfolio of written evidence may be considered as an alternative entrance route.
