Mechanical Engineering with International Study

Mechanical engineers are recognised for their knowledge and skills in conceiving, designing, implementing and operating devices, machines, engines and energy systems. graduates from the department of mechanical & aerospace engineering - which is consistently rated in the top 10 such departments in the uk - are part of a new breed of engineer who can take on challenges ranging from traditional industries to areas such as new materials, sustainable development and aerospace. in year 3, you'll spend a full academic session at a partner university abroad. the study abroad programme is highly relevant to the increasingly global context of engineering and is valued by prospective employers. our department has more than 20 years’ experience of student-exchange programmes.

ELP programs are offered by universities or pathway institutions to assist students in achieving the language proficiency required for academic studies. You can get admitted to your course with a lower language requirement if you do an ELP program.

With skills including analytical, numeracy and problem solving, mechanical engineering graduates are suited to a wide range of career opportunities. recent graduates from beng mechanical engineering have been recruited into areas such as oil and gas, subsea, energy, building services, aviation and automotive. some of the graduates’ job titles include trainee field engineer, mechanical design engineer, technical assistant and project engineer. some of our students have also continued to postgraduate study or research.

Work while you study

You can also work on a UK student visa, from 10 to 20 hours per week during the academic year, 40 hours per week or full-time during vacations.

Partnerships
