Mechanical Engineering Meng (Hon)

Course Overview - Mechanical Engineering Meng (Hon)

The MEng Mechanical Engineering will give you an excellent grounding in the knowledge and experience of the most fundamental of all engineering disciplines, preparing you for a variety of careers in engineering, technology, business and management.

We use a variety of teaching styles that reflect the diversity of topics covered in modern mechanical engineering, and you will develop the range of skills and expertise that a professional engineer must possess.

As in BEng, the third year features an individual project - you will undertake a major investigative project...

Entry Requirements

UCAS Tariff

Not Accepted

Scottish Higher

AAA in three Scottish Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We will accept two Scottish Highers at grade AA in place of the third subject. Where English Language and Mathematics are not taken at Higher/Advanced Higher, they must have been achieved at SCQF Level 5 (minimum National 5 Grade C/Intermediate 2 Grade C/Standard Grade Credit level Grade 3).

Access to HE Diploma

Given that it is not possible to meet our published offer conditions within an Access course, we would not recommend an Access course as the best way of preparing for our courses. However, we would look very carefully at any applications from exceptional Access students who were on track to gain the AAA equivalent (45 credits at level 3 awarded at distinction). We would treat any such exceptional students on a case-by-case basis, looking very carefully at past academic history and the academic reference. A decision would be made about entry holistically on the basis of all information (including details of the course undertaken) and would usually be conditional on the above standard.

A level

A*,A*,A

A*A*A in Mathematics, Physics and one other subject. We are willing to consider applicants without Physics if they have studied Further Mathematics; applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. A relevant science and technology subject is preferred as the third subject, but not essential. Relevant subjects include, but are not limited to: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Design Technology, Economics, Engineering, Further Mathematics, IT, Statistics. If you are studying 4 or more A- levels, we will make an offer on the subjects that are best suited to the course. Due to the popularity of this course, we may give preference to those with grades above our minimum entry requirements. As practical skills are a crucial part of science education, you are required to pass the practical element of any Science A-Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this will likely be made explicit in the offers received. If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year. Typical Contextual Offer: A*AA in Mathematics, Physics and one other subject. We are willing to consider applicants without Physics if they have studied Further Mathematics; app
