Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year - MEng (Hons)

University of Sheffield

Covering the fundamental principles of engineering, with the flexibility to focus on specific areas of interest in later years, this degree provides a blend of theoretical learning with practical hands-on experience, equipping you to tackle and solve real engineering challenges.

Project-based learning

Our system of project-based learning integrates engineering science with practical projects. So, you’ll become comfortable and capable in tackling realistic, open-ended problems – which makes you a better engineer.

Professional skills focus

The course includes professional skills learning, which empowers you to take responsibility for your own development and become an independent learner. This includes areas such as developing communications skills, teamwork, and presentation skills, helping to create more employable engineers.

Personal tutorials

From day one, your personal tutor will be your regular point of contact for both pastoral and academic support throughout your studies. The small group academic tutorial system strengthens the student-tutor bond and helps you to develop as an independent learner.

Personalised, tailored education
