This BSc (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree will give you a strong foundation in a range of traditional mechanical engineering topics. It is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers(IMechE) and the Engineering Council, so the successful completion will give you the academic qualification required to gain Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status.
It’s a wide-ranging mechanical engineering degree that will develop your understanding of the field and your ability to solve engineering problems independently. You’ll study basic principles used by engineering professionals and how they work in practice and understand how what you learn in the classroom can be applied in real-life to find solutions to everyday problems.
Our accreditation from professional bodies ensures that what you learn relates directly to industry standards. The diverse nature of this Mechanical Engineering course means you could establish a career in many areas of industry, such as production, process and manufacturing engineering. It is the ideal course for engineers who want to broaden their career prospects beyond individual specialist or technical areas.
What you will study
Your studies will be underpinned by key engineering topics – maths, design and manufacture, mechanical science, thermofluids, professional engineering techniques and management systems. As you progress, you’ll be exposed to more specialist topics such as instrumentation and control, production processes, and sustainable engineering design.
In your final year, you’ll also undertake a dissertation project under the close supervision of a member of staff. Your chosen dissertation will give you the opportunity to manage a major project in an area of engineering that best suits your interests or career ambitions.

Teaching
The mechanical engineering degree is taught by a team of tutors who promote an open door policy to students, so you will be able to get the best out of your studies in a supportive learning environment.
Our lecturers are experts in their subject areas, having worked in, or with, industry, conducting research, presenting at conferences, publishing their work, and informing your studies with the latest insights. Not only will you be taught by academics who are specialists in their fields, but you will also benefit from guest speakers from the engineering world.
You will learn through a combination of lectures, tutorials, practical sessions and seminars. This will be further consolidated by a series of practical exercises, design projects and where possible site visits. You’ll undertake open-ended tasks, applying concepts and key skills as you progress. You will also need to work independently doing research, keeping up-to-date with current issues and preparing for lectures.
We have excellent links with employers in Wales, the UK and beyond. Through regular consultation with practising professionals, we keep our mechanical engineering courses up-to-date with industry standards. Our strong links also mean you’ll have opportunities for site visits, industrial placements and, for students on sandwich courses, practitioner mentoring.
