Mechanical Engineering with Management Meng (Hon)

The very best engineers working in industry not only have exceptional engineering knowledge and skills but they also have a solid grounding in commercial decision making, finance, economics and planning.<br/><br/>**Ranked 12th UK, 1st in Scotland for General Engineering (Complete University Guide 2024)**<br/><br/>The main difference between this programme and the standard MEng Mechanical Engineering degree comes in year 4. Where the standard MEng programme offers two year 4 options, this programme has one option for year 4 and it contains the 15 credit Business and Management Essentials course. This particular course is designed with engineers in mind and aims to provide students with a broad ranging introduction to wide variety business and management topics, which should enable them to perform more effectively as graduate engineers and more senior roles were they are likely to have broader responsibilities.<br/><br/>There are a number of examples where our engineering graduates have moved into MD and CEO roles within the oil and gas and other industry sectors. This degree programme is ideal for those individuals that wish to strengthen their understanding of key business principles.<br/><br/>The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year.<br/><br/>It is possible to move between MEng and BEng and this can be accomplished at any point until the second half session of fourth year. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng and there is no quota, meaning that if grade requirements are met that transfer is guaranteed.
