BEng · University of Southampton · 5 years
About this course
Mechanical engineering sits at the heart of how things are designed, built, and made to work, from the smallest components in medical devices to the large-scale systems that power aircraft, vehicles, and industrial processes. It draws on mathematics, physics, and materials science to solve practical problems, and engineers in this field are found in virtually every sector of the economy. At the University of Southampton, this five-year full-time programme combines a foundation year with a full MEng pathway, giving you a carefully structured route into the discipline that builds mathematical and scientific fundamentals before moving into advanced engineering study. You will develop expertise across the core areas of the discipline, including mechanics, structures, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and materials. Computing and design receive sustained attention throughout, reflecting the ce
