Mechanical Engineering (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most enduring of the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, and manufacture of machines, structures, and systems that involve force, energy, and motion. From engines and turbines to robots and medical devices, mechanical engineers apply the principles of physics, mathematics, and materials science to solve problems that affect virtually every aspect of modern life. The discipline sits at the heart of manufacturing, energy, aerospace, automotive, and many other industries, and it provides a foundation of analytical skills that transfer across a remarkable range of professional contexts. At the University of Northampton, this four-year, full-time degree with an integrated foundation year provides an accessible entry point into mechanical engineering study, designed for ambitious students who are ready to commit to th
