Course summary
As a graduate of MSc in Mechanical Engineering Design, you will be equipped with the knowledge to tackle both the design of complex systems and the evaluate your design's performance using technical engineering skills. As you learn about the design process closely, you will cover specification development, concept design, detail design and prototype production. A unique course, during your study you will look into highly practical technical evaluation skills - those based on theory, experimentation, and computer modelling, to determine the feasibility and performance of new products and to assess the performance of existing equipment. A technical engineering course, this MSc is based around solid mechanics principles which integrate advanced engineering techniques with hands-on-learning to provide a complementary blend of skills desired by employers. Our Department is a vibrant environment to study, with200 years of expertise in teaching engineering,high calibre facilities, strong links with industry and a vision to provide a modern world-class education.
