Why this course?

Mechanical engineers are recognised for their knowledge and skills in conceiving, designing, implementing and operating devices, machines, engines and energy systems.

Graduates from the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering - which is consistently rated in the top 10 such departments in the UK -  are part of a new breed of engineer who can take on challenges ranging from traditional industries to areas such as new materials, sustainable development and aerospace.

Studying Mechanical Engineering with Financial Management will help you develop an awareness of the financial aspects of engineering management, including raising capital in the bond markets to finance innovation in the engineering industry. Such awareness is highly sought-after and rewarded by employers.

Study abroad is an option for all our courses. The named degree (Mechanical Engineering with International Study) ensures that the international study experience is recognised in the title of the degree award. 

Assessment

Our assessment methods include:

• written exams
• coursework assignments
• presentations
• individual/group projects

The final award classification is normally based on inputs from the first assessed attempt at compulsory and specified optional classes across all years, except Year 1, plus, if appropriate, an oral exam.

Learning & teaching

In the early stages, learning skills are developed through interactive teaching, problem-solving and problem-based learning. In later years, students will take part in lectures, tutorials, web-based interactive learning, practical work and computer-based learning. The emphasis on individual and group projects increases as our students’ skills develop.

Careers

With skills including analytical, numeracy and problem solving, Mechanical Engineering graduates are suited to a wide range of career opportunities. Combing these studies with Financial Management further strengthens career prospects.

Recent graduates have been recruited into areas such as oil and gas, subsea, energy, building services and engineering consulting. Some of the graduates’ job titles include Mechanical Design Engineer, Trainee Driller, Project Engineer and Technical Services Engineer.

Graduates combining their studies with financial management have been recruited into energy and finance, with job titles including Energy Researcher and Graduate Engineer.

Some of our students have also continued to postgraduate study or research.
