Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, and manufacture of physical systems that involve motion, force, and energy. From the internal combustion engine and the gas turbine to robotic systems, renewable energy devices, and medical implants, mechanical engineers apply the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and materials science to solve problems that span almost every sector of the economy. It is a discipline that combines rigorous mathematical analysis with creative problem-solving and practical design. At the University of Manchester, one of the UK's leading engineering faculties, this programme is available with a foundation year for students who need to build their mathematical and scientific preparation before entering the main degree. The four-year full-time course give
