Mechanical Engineering with a Year in Industry

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the most broadly applicable engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, and optimisation of machines, structures, and systems that convert energy and materials into useful outputs. From the components of aircraft engines and the drivetrains of electric vehicles to the manufacturing processes that produce consumer goods and the fluid systems that distribute energy, mechanical engineers work across almost every sector of the economy. The discipline combines rigorous physics and mathematics with the creative challenge of designing solutions to real problems. At the University of Kent, this four-year full-time programme includes a year in industry, giving you a sustained period of professional experience before your final year of study. This placement is central to the degree's design, recognising that engineering education is most effectiv
