Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and most versatile engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical systems. From turbines and engines to robots and biomedical devices, mechanical engineers work on the machines and systems that generate power, move people and goods, manufacture products and support life. The discipline combines rigorous training in mathematics, physics and materials science with the creative and practical skills to design solutions that work in the real world. At the University of Nottingham, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, a sandwich year, a work placement and a year abroad. The foundation year provides the mathematical and scientific preparation needed before you progress to the full degree. The sandwich and placement elements give you substantial professional experience
