MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Application

MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Application is a two-year degree which offers you the opportunity to learn advanced design and research in mechanical engineering, and then practically apply this knowledge in your industry placement or project. The programme allows those with a bachelor-levels graduate in Mechanical Engineering to build upon your existing knowledge and skills in the area. For those from a different Engineering background, the programme offers you the opportunity to develop key Mechanical Engineering knowledge and skills required for your professional development. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the core engineering and science underpinning the Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing sector. The industry-relevant degree will provide you with an accredited route to become a Chartered Engineer.During the master’s programme, you’ll gain a broad knowledge of the core components in Mechanical Engineering Sciences and practices, whilst developing an extensive, detailed, and critical knowledge and understanding of at least one specialist area within the subject. The flexible degree structure allows you to focus in on your specific interests within Advanced Mechanical Engineering. You’ll have the opportunity to choose courses from an extensive list, including fluids, dynamics, renewable energy technologies, heat exchangers and heat transfer, robotic mechanical systems, and advanced thermodynamic applications.In your second year, you will spend your first semester working on your dissertation before reflecting upon your teaching and applying your knowledge and skills to an industrial setting through a placement, or to an interdisciplinary project. This gives you the opportunity to develop your industrial skills and experience within a real-life work environment, whilst gaining some globally recognised and verifiable work experience in the British engineering sector.The career-focused master’s programme will develop your technical, scientific, and managerial abilities, and provide you with a specialist education to set you up to become a professional Mechanical Engineer. Upon completion, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to prepare you for a wide range of technical and managerial careers across the sector, including roles in process and plant design, construction, commissioning, operation, management to specialist consultancy, and advanced research and development.EmployabilityThis programme is designed to enable graduates to undertake a wide range of technical and managerial careers across the sector, e.g. process and plant design, construction, commissioning, operation, management to specialist consultancy and advanced research and development. Each year there are two university-wide recruitment fairs held and seven industry-specific recruitment and networking events, giving you the chance to meet with graduate employers and find out about opportunities.

If your first language is not English, or your first degree was not taught in English, we'll need to see evidence of your English language ability. The minimum requirement for English language is IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. TOEFL iBT 85 (including reading 20, listening 19, speaking 20 and writing 21).
