Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSc

This programme emphasises the application of computational techniques and packages to solve complex engineering problems. It offers students a broad range of advanced subjects across the mechanical engineering disciplines in order to work in various industrial sectors. The MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering is designed to equip mechanical engineering graduates, as well as graduates of related disciplines including civil, materials, chemical, and aerospace engineering, with the advanced skills and knowledge demanded by the world’s leading employers in the automotive, energy, defence and manufacturing sectors.<br/><br/>In particular, this programme focuses on applying computational techniques and packages to solve complex engineering problems through the study of computational fluid dynamics, numerical simulation of waves, advanced composite materials, finite element methods, mathematical optimisation, and engineering risk and reliability analysis. In addition to these core topics, you will choose from further optional courses covering topics in marine and wind energy, riser systems and hydrodynamics, fire and explosion engineering, structural vibrations and project management.<br/><br/>Finally, your individual research project will further hone your independent research skills and develop your expertise in a practical topic confronting the industry today. This programme is developed and reviewed by an Industry Advisory Board, made up of experienced professionals from a range of backgrounds and also holds accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), which means the programme is designed and delivered in accordance with IMechEs high standards and that our students are well placed to progress to achieve professional engineering status.
