Mechanical Engineering (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, and manufacture of systems and devices that use mechanical forces and movement. From engines, turbines, and industrial machinery to medical devices, robotics, and the structural components of vehicles and aircraft, the work of mechanical engineers touches almost every area of modern industry. The discipline draws on mathematics, physics, materials science, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, combining analytical rigour with creative problem-solving and practical design skill. Nottingham Trent University's four-year full-time degree includes a foundation year, making the programme accessible to students who need to build their mathematical and scientific foundations before entering the main engineering curriculum. The foundation year provides structured support to bring
