The Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSc focuses on key skills required for a career in mechanical engineering. This course is accredited by the IET, and IMechE and InstMC. More information is available on the School of Engineering website Course overview Our MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering equips students with the expertise and adaptability to tackle new and unusual challenges across a wide range of disciplines, within engineering and beyond. Core modules provide advanced knowledge of fundamental mechanical engineering principles while also developing the skills needed to manage engineering projects involving multiple stakeholders. Optional modules offer the flexibility to explore complementary topics aligned with your interests. You will also undertake an individual research project – an extensive experimental, theoretical, or computational study on a topic of your choice, guided by an academic supervisor. Previous project titles include: CFD for electric car battery cooling system design; Developing and testing an improved solar thermal collector (for hot water); Modelling and simulation of biological control systems; Recycling of materials from spent lithium ion batteries; Biomechanical detection of breast cancer by palpation; Polymer gear contact simulations for EV gearbox applications. Within the School of Engineering, our teaching is driven by cutting-edge research in areas such as automotive systems, biomedical engineering, electrical and thermal energy systems, materials and modelling, precision engineering and measurement, as well as solid and fluid mechanics. Graduates from this programme have secured roles at leading companies such as Arup, Rolls-Royce, and Siemens, while others have pursued further research through PhD programmes at — and other institutions..

Getting in
As the university states it
Minimum requirements A minimum 2:1 undergraduate UK Honours degree or equivalent international qualification, in an engineering, physical sciences or mathematical subject. Please note that applicants will need post A2 Level (or equivalent) knowledge in Mathematics, covering topics such as linear algebra, calculus and analysis, and including differential equations. This could be gained through a mathematics module taken as part of an undergraduate course. It is expected that candidates have a good understanding of these topics at the start of their MSc studies. You can see how your current degree score or GPA equates to the British system in our Study pages in the equivalent scores table. We are willing to consider applications from students with lower qualifications on a case-by-case basis, particularly when the applicant can evidence relevant employment, practical experience or strong performance in undergraduate modules related to their proposed postgraduate course of study. To ensure you have the essential foundations for the course, and depending on your overall academic profile, we may require you to take a mathematical skills test. English language requirements You can find out more about our English language requirements on our website. This course requires the following: - Band A - IELTS overall score of 6.5, minimum component scores not below 6.0.
