Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most enduring engineering disciplines, concerned with the analysis, design, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It applies the fundamental principles of physics, particularly mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science, to the full range of physical systems that move, transmit force, convert energy, and perform work. From jet engines and turbines to medical devices, robots, vehicles, and manufacturing machinery, mechanical engineering underpins a vast proportion of the built and technological world. At Newcastle University, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich placement year and a work placement, which together give you structured professional experience in engineering practice alongside your academic study. Newcastle has a strong engineering tradition and connections to industries that are promine
