A student must normally achieve a weighted mean grade of 54.5 or above at Level 3 in order to proceed to the Year in Industry, progression being at the discretion of the discretion of the Board of Examiners. A student who fails to progress may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of MEng Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU023) or the Degree of BEng Mechanical Engineering (MECU002).

Year 4

Core These are a compulsory part of your degree: you cannot change them. units (120 credits)

A student will take

Full academic year
MEC397 + Restricted to students within the Department of Mechanical Engineering.	Year in Industry	ACAD YR	120 credits

A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take MEC397. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Head of Mechanical Engineering. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of MEng Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU023).

MEC397 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Head of Mechanical Engineering. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics (MECU023).

Year 5

This level is not yet running.

Core These are a compulsory part of your degree: you cannot change them. units (120 credits)

A student will take

Full academic year
MEC438 + Restricted to Level 7 students registered on approved programmes..	Preparation for Practice	ACAD YR	15 credits
MEC464 + Restricted to students at level 7 of student on associated programmes..	MEng Individual Project	ACAD YR	45 credits

A student must pass MEC464 (Individual Project) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics with a Year in Industry (MECU025). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be awarded the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering with a Year in Industry (MECU015).

A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Biomechanics with a Year in Industry (MECU025). A student who fails to satisfy these requirements, or chooses to withdraw from the University at Level 3, may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Mechanical Engineering (MECU002). In this instance, in order to achieve a degree accredited by the IMechE, the student must pass at the first attempt either MEC329 Additional Individual Project or, if they have previously completed MEC307 Group Design Project, MEC331 Individual Extension to Group Design Project.
