Mechanical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical engineering brings together mathematics, physics, and creative problem-solving to design, analyse, and improve physical systems that range from micro-scale mechanisms in medical devices to large structures in civil and offshore engineering. It is one of the most versatile engineering disciplines, and mechanical engineers are found across every sector of the economy. At the University of Aberdeen, this four-year full-time degree develops both the fundamental principles and the professional capabilities needed for a career in the field, with particular strengths in areas related to the energy industry given Aberdeen's position as the centre of the UK oil and gas sector. You will develop rigorous understanding across the core areas of mechanical engineering, including solid mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, manufacturing processes, and engineering
