Mechanical Engineering (with integrated Foundation Year)

About this course

Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of the mechanical systems that do work in the physical world: from engines and turbines to robots, vehicles, consumer products, and the industrial machinery that produces almost everything we use. It draws on mathematics, physics, materials science, and thermodynamics, applying these foundations to real engineering problems through design, simulation, and practical testing. Mechanical engineers are among the most versatile graduates in the workforce, with skills applicable across virtually every engineering sector. This four-year full-time programme at the University of Brighton includes an integrated foundation year, providing a preparatory route for students who do not meet the standard A-level requirements in mathematics and physics, as well as a sandwich year and a work placement.
