MSc(Res) Advanced Mechanical Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
We're one of the largest and most respected mechanical engineering departments in the UK. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise we came second in the league table of departments in our field.
About the course1 year full-time This course allows you to build upon your previous study of Mechanical Engineering through both taught modules and a detailed research project. It combines practical engineering knowledge with extensive research experience and is ideal if you want to pursue a career in industry or if you're interested in undertaking further research. The programme includes a substantial research project that is at least 50 per cent larger than standard MSc programmes. It gives you the opportunity to address in depth a challenging and relevant topic. We offer a wide selection of advanced-level taught modules that will support your project topic and suit your individual needs. You'll have regular contact with at least two academics: your personal tutor and project supervisor. Core module

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. "I am working on Detached Eddy Simulation of aerodynamic flows in CFD. I think my MSc brought me to a stage where I had a plethora of options to excel in my profession. After gaining my MSc degree with distinction, I continued on to a PhD. I have enjoyed the unique experience of Sheffield as a beautiful, safe and friendly city, as well as its academic excellence. I have been using the world- class computational facilities along with extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Overall, it has been an experience I shall always cherish." Discovery and knowledgeOur reputation for excellence attracts world-class staff and students who are passionate about their subject. They’re involved in exciting, real-world projects like improving car designs or designing jaw replacements: things that will make a difference to our lives. We have a number of internationally renowned research centres that provide a focus for interdisciplinary activities and research. These include the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing, the Composite Systems Innovation Centre (CSIC), the Institute for Microstructural and Mechanical Process Engineering (IMMPETUS), the Leonardo Centre for Tribology, and the Low Carbon Combustion Centre (LCCC). International student supportAs an international student studying with us, you’ll get a full induction, personal tutor and additional English language support if you need it. Learning environmentWe 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.
