Your career

Our courses are designed to meet the needs of industry. You'll gain practical experience of research, including training in research methods and management that will prepare you for a career in industry.

Recent graduates have gone on to work for Arup, Rolls-Royce and Network Rail. Alternatively, our courses are ideal preparation for further research at PhD level.

A world-famous department

This is one of the largest, most respected mechanical engineering departments in the UK. The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise put us in the top three.
Our reputation for excellence attracts world-class staff and students. They’re involved in projects like improving car designs and designing jaw replacements – projects that make a difference.

International student support

As an international student studying with us, you’ll get a full induction, personal tutor and additional English language support if you need it.

Learning environment

We have recently finished refurbishing a large section of our laboratory space and have invested over £350,000 in equipment for our teaching labs and mechanical engineering workshop, including new fatigue testing facilities and a 3D printer.
