Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the discipline concerned with the analysis, design, manufacture and maintenance of physical systems, machines and processes. It applies physics, mathematics and materials science to a vast range of engineering challenges, from precision instruments and automotive components to large-scale energy systems and manufacturing plant. It is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, and mechanical engineers work across virtually every sector of the economy, contributing to solutions in energy, transport, healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace and the built environment.
