Beng or MEng Mechanical Engineering

The BEng or MEng Mechanical Engineering course at Birmingham City University offers a robust and industry-aligned education that prepares students to tackle real-world engineering challenges. This degree develops your understanding of mechanics, thermodynamics, design, and materials science while encouraging creativity and innovation. Whether you pursue the three-year BEng route or continue to the integrated MEng, you’ll be equipped with both the academic foundation and practical insight needed for a thriving career in engineering.

Curriculum Structure
The program blends theoretical knowledge with practical learning. Here’s how the journey is structured:
• Year One builds core skills in engineering mathematics, mechanical science, and computer-aided design (CAD).
• Year Two moves into more applied areas like thermofluids, dynamics, solid mechanics, and engineering project management.
• Year Three focuses on advanced design and analysis, and culminates in a major individual project, where you’ll demonstrate your technical and problem-solving abilities.
For students on the MEng pathway, a fourth year adds higher-level modules like systems integration, sustainable technologies, and group projects reflecting professional practice.

Accreditation
This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), meaning it meets the high standards needed for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status — a valuable asset for your career progression.

Campus Location
Located in the heart of Birmingham, the university provides an urban campus experience within easy reach of major engineering companies, giving you strong industry exposure and networking opportunities. You'll also benefit from state-of-the-art labs and workshops within the university’s modern engineering facilities.
