Course Overview

Our three-year BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering programme is a flexible and far-reaching undergraduate course designed to help you focus on making your mark within the world of mechanical engineering. 

You will learn the key principles of mechanical engineering, engineering applications, advanced materials, and structures, advanced thermofluids and control, amongst many other subject topics. 

Modern and career-focused, the BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering offers the grounding needed to help you excel. Delivered in partnership with the University of Bolton, this course offers flexible timetables with the option to study both digitally online and in person. Our morning, evening and weekend classes are available to help you fit your studies around existing life commitments.   

With a global rise in demand from the automotive and nanotechnology industry, the need for mechanical engineers is greater than ever before. This engaging and flexible course draws key elements from several engineering disciplines to give you a wide-ranging, industry-informed programme to prepare you for employment in a variety of sectors. 

This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. 

The IMechE accreditation is a mark of assurance that this degree – including both our full-time and part-time study options – meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). 

An accredited degree will provide students with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
