Mechanical Engineering with Integrated Foundation Year

About this course

Mechanical engineering shapes much of the world we inhabit. The vehicles we travel in, the machines that manufacture goods, the power systems that heat our homes and generate electricity, the medical devices that support health and the structures that carry loads, all depend on the principles of mechanical engineering: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, materials science, manufacturing and design. Mechanical engineers understand how these principles apply in the design and operation of real systems, and they develop the analytical and practical skills to bring new products and processes into existence. This four-year full-time degree at the University of Sunderland includes an integrated foundation year, a sandwich year with a work placement and a year abroad, giving you a supported academic start and substantial professional and international experience embedded in the programm
