If, at the end of your second year, you are heading for a good Honours degree, then with our agreement you could continue your studies and complete the MEng. The fourth year entails a major project and further academic work which can include a language option. Your programme can be tailored to your future career needs since you select from an extensive range of options. This three-year programme aims to turn you into an engineer with particular skills to support the application and integration of computers in all aspects of mechanical and manufacturing engineering. It shares many modules with the Mechanical Engineering degree programme, but emphasises the application of computers while devoting less time to the traditional engineering science topics.
Teaching is supported by extensive research activities in computer aided engineering.
We also offer four-year BEng programmes in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Aided Engineering. These include a foundation year at the beginning, and are open to students whose academic qualifications do not meet the requirements of the three-year programmes, or who have qualifications in other disciplines and wish to convert to engineering. Industrial Training and Sponsorship Students on our programmes have been sponsored by many companies, including Sandvik, Rolls-Royce Cars, British Steel, Westland Helicopters and Rustons Gas Turbines. We support the Year in Industry scheme and are happy for you to spend a year gaining industrial experience at the end of the second year. The analytical skills developed through a degree programme in engineering provide an excellent foundation for a wide variety of careers, but most of our graduates are so enthused by the challenges and career progression offered by industry in design, manufacturing, research, development or management that they choose to follow these paths.
