Do you love to innovate, design and solve problems? Our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree, with applied Automotive and applied Manufacturing pathways, will enable you to apply your passion and skills to become an engineer of the future.Our approach to Engineering is unique. You will not have traditional lectures or be assessed by exams, instead you will learn through practical-based tasks that respond to real-life engineering problems across industries including automotive and transport, manufacturing, technology, energy and construction. This course has been carefully designed in collaboration with industry to ensure that you graduate ready for employment, with core technical skills and knowledge as well as employability skills such as communication, leadership and collaboration.The first year is a common year to provide you with a solid understanding of what engineering is. You will also learn about the different types of engineering to enable you to choose a suitable pathway to continue to after your first year. You will have the option to specialise in the following pathways after your first year of study:**Automotive Engineering**If you choose this pathway, you will explore vehicle dynamics, propulsion technologies, and sustainable mobility to address the evolving needs of the transport sector. This pathway is ideal for those wishing to pursue a career in the automotive or transportation industries in jobs such as Powertrain Engineer, Motorsport Engineer and Crash Safety Engineer.**Manufacturing Engineering**This pathway focuses on improving processes and ensuring products maintain high standards. You will learn about advanced manufacturing processes, automation, and Industry 4.0, equipping graduates to lead in modern production environments in sectors like Automation & Robotics Engineering, Quality & Plant Control Engineering, and Supply Chain & Logistics Engineering.**Mechanical Engineering**This pathway continues on the Mechanical Engineering degree through to your final year. This route focuses on core engineering principles, materials science, and thermofluid systems, to prepare you for diverse roles in mechanical system design and development in jobs such as Project Engineer, Energy Engineer, Design Engineer and Systems Engineer.**Professional Placement Year**This course offers an optional professional placement year. This allows you to spend a whole year with an employer, following successful completion of your second year, and is a great way to find out more about your chosen career. Some students even return to the same employers after completing their studies.If you choose to pursue a placement year, you will need to find a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional, and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you are able to secure a placement, you can request to be transferred to the placement version of the course.Please note that fees are payable during your placement year, equivalent to 20% of the total full-time course fee for that year.
