MEng Mechanical Engineering

Design & Research Projects

• Annual Design Projects: Throughout the academic year, team-based design projects imitate real-world engineering issues, encouraging teamwork and problem-solving abilities. ​
• Final-Year Group Design Project: In the fourth year, students work on a large group project, combining expertise from multiple disciplines to solve complex engineering challenges. 
• Individual Research Project: During the third year, students complete a large individual project that allows them to delve extensively into a specific area of interest in mechanical engineering. The University of Manchester

Industrial experience

• Year in Industry: Following the third year, there is usually an optional structured placement year. Students acquire hands-on experience in the mechanical engineering industry, guided by both the host firm and the university. ​
• Internships and Summer Placements: Students are encouraged to pursue internships throughout the summer to get practical experience and increase their employability. ​

Sustainability and Social Responsibility Initiatives

• Ethical Grand concerns: Students participate in interdisciplinary activities that address global concerns while developing social responsibility and ethical understanding. ​
• University Living Lab: This initiative enables students to collaborate with external organizations on real-world sustainability projects, bringing engineering knowledge to societal concerns. 

Laboratory and Practical Work

• State-of-the-Art Facilities: Students have access to modern laboratories, including as wind tunnels and laser labs, which provide hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology. 

Academic Progression

• Because the MEng is an integrated Master's degree, graduates are unlikely to pursue additional taught Master's programs; nonetheless, many go on to research-based PhDs.
• The degree is accredited by the IMechE and allows for immediate advancement to Chartered Engineer (CEng) level.
