Overview
This integrated programme is designed to prepare and support international students for a strong and rewarding experience in their selected engineering discipline, Mechanical Engineering, immediately aligning students to the fundamentals of engineering from the moment they enrol.
In addition to providing all necessary science, technology, engineering and mathematics background to allow students to confidently enter year one of the BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering programme, the first year of study will also develop transferable skills such as communication, professionalism, teamwork and creativity, and provide an excellent transition period in preparation for learning and teaching methodologies used in the UK to support high engagement and achievement in the discipline.
The first two years are taken in common with three other engineering disciplines (Biomedical, Chemical, Civil & Structural) and therefore prior to being immersed in the technical depth of your selected engineering area in the final two years of study, your education will include an understanding of the relation and importance of other engineering areas to your own discipline - invaluable in the modern team-based multidisciplinary engineering sector.
Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate (CDIO) forms a core element of programme delivery, based around developing innovative and sustainable solutions to real-world problems and closely linked to our well-developed industrial collaborations.
Professional accreditation
The BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
The BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.
