Mechanical Engineering integrated with Placement Year

About this course

Mechanical engineering is the broadest of all the engineering disciplines, concerned with the design, analysis, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It encompasses everything from micro-scale components in medical devices to large-scale industrial machinery, from the thermodynamics of power generation to the dynamics of vehicles and aircraft. The combination of physics, mathematics, materials science, and design thinking that a mechanical engineering degree develops is applicable across virtually every sector of the economy. At Brunel University London this five-year full-time programme integrates a placement year into the degree, giving you sustained professional experience in an engineering organisation before you complete your studies. Brunel's teaching facilities include flight simulators and the Brunel Motorsport Centre, and students can join the student racing team
