Mechanical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Mechanical engineering combines a range of technical, creative, and management skills. It plays an important role in a range of sectors including aerospace, energy management, and surgical innovation.<br/><br/>This degree focuses on mechatronics - the integration of electrical and mechanical components. This means youll learn to design and manufacture modern, high-performance products across a range of industries.<br/><br/>Youll also learn about microcontroller programming, software for computer-aided design (CAD), and how to implement engineering solutions with economic constraints. For example, youll take part in an engineering design project where youll design and manufacture a prototype. <br/><br/>Youll have the opportunity to get involved in practical and industrial-led projects. Youll use the knowledge and skills gained throughout your studies to present solutions to industry experts.<br/><br/>We are the only Scottish university taking part in the CMS Collaboration, a major experiment at the Large Hadron Collider CERN. Our students have had the opportunity to visit the site during their studies. <br/><br/>You could also join our DRIVE racing team. Each year, they design, build, seek sponsorship for and race a single-seat, rear-engine racing car as part of the global iMechE Formula Student competition at Silverstone.

The University of Dundee is on Scotland's east coast in the vibrant city of Dundee—rich in history and culture and full of cafes, restaurants, shops, and bars.<br/><br/>The main campus in the West End was named the best place to live in Scotland in 2024 (The Sunday Times). Dundee has lower living costs than many UK cities, and the University offers scholarships and bursaries. Excellent road and rail links make travel easy.<br/><br/>Founded in 1881, the University is globally known for excellence in life sciences, medicine, dentistry, engineering, and art & design.<br/><br/>Student Services support academic success and personal well-being. You'll graduate career-ready—91% of students are in work or further study within 15 months (HESA 2024).<br/><br/>With over 150 clubs and societies, from mountaineering to musicals, there's something for everyone. All student accommodation is self-catered, with en-suite, furnished single rooms.
