Mechanical Engineering - MEng (Hons)

Manchester Metropolitan University

Our four‑year MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course takes you from core engineering principles to advanced, industry‑informed project work. The course builds on real engineering practice, active research and established industry partnerships, supported by our location in one of Manchester’s key innovation districts - an area with strong links to technology, research and collaboration.You’ll build a solid foundation in engineering science, applied mathematics and practical skills before progressing into specialist areas such as solid mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Each year, you’ll work on projects connected to our research groups and industry collaborators, giving you experience that many universities reserve for postgraduate study.As you advance, you’ll take on multi‑disciplinary team projects, adopting professional engineering roles and tackling challenges that mirror workplace practice. By your final year, you’ll be ready to design, develop and present a sophisticated engineering solution to a real, contemporary problem – graduating with the depth of expertise expected from an integrated masters.**FEATURES AND BENEFITS*** **Taught by leading researchers:** 100% of our research impact is world-leading or internationally excellent, with 75% at the highest 4\* level (REF 2021).* **Placement opportunities:** The five-year placement route offers the opportunity to spend your third year working on an industry placement, giving you a taste of professional life and boosting your employability on graduation.* **Collaborate with industry:** Every year, we invite businesses and academic colleagues to set live projects that challenge out students to devise innovative solutions to current problems.* **Study in cutting-edge facilities:** Our engineering facilities include mechanical and electrical engineering labs, a light manufacturing workshops, machining and materials testing equipment and a cyber-physical lab containing some of the latest 4.0 technologies.* **Professional study environment:** Study in our £115m Dalton building, designed for collaboration, innovation and world-class learning and research, where you can develop the practical skills, confidence and real-world experience that employers value.* **Flexible learning:** Benefit from access to regular online video support, which provides additional explanations and guidance on a range of topics, from coursework and exam paper guidance to software tutorials.
