Mechanical and Design Engineering

Mechanical and Design Engineering provides scientific, mathematical and technical skills for the design, development and optimal operation of advanced machines and mechanical engineering systems. It is ideal if you want to develop sustainable and innovative solutions to real-world challenges in transport, energy manufacturing and more.

Over three years, students develop professional engineering skills, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to future mechanical engineering systems.

Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate students’ expertise to future employers.
