Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. From engines and turbines to medical devices, robotics, and renewable energy systems, mechanical engineers work across an enormous range of industries and applications. The discipline requires a strong foundation in physics and mathematics, particularly in mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and materials science, alongside practical skills in design, manufacturing processes, and computer-aided engineering tools. At the University of Northampton, this three-year, full-time programme provides the core knowledge and skills of mechanical engineering within a teaching-focused environment that supports students who may be the first in their family to attend university or who are entering engineering from less
