Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is at the heart of the innovation that is transforming energy, transport, robotics, and aerospace. The discipline applies the principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and materials science to design and build the physical systems and machines that society depends on, from renewable energy turbines and electric vehicles to surgical robots and aircraft. Mechanical engineers are problem-solvers who turn ideas into practical solutions, and their skills are in demand across every sector of the economy that involves making, moving, or managing physical systems. This three-year, full-time programme at Sussex includes a foundation year for students who need additional preparation before the main degree content, a placement year, and a year abroad, giving you a full four years of formation that combines academic rigour with professional and international ex
