As we strive for sustainability and reduced carbon emissions, Mechanical Engineering concepts are essential to make the world a cleaner and safer place. Our Mechanical Engineering BEng provides you with the training to lead multidisciplinary teams in the development of complex systems. These include sustainable power generation, power-trains for automotive vehicles, and jet engines for aircraft propulsion.

At Sussex, we undertake world-class research, which enriches your teaching. Our Dynamics, Control and Vehicle Research Group and the Thermo-Fluid Mechanics Research Centre, develop innovative concepts in vehicle technology and efficient aero-engines, among other things.

You’ll study in our Future Technologies Labs that incorporate computer suites and new automation/robotics facilities. There is a dedicated manufacturing lab with state-of-the-art facilities such as CNC machines and 3-D printers. You'll be able to specialise in subjects such as CAD, computational fluid dynamics through optional modules and work on areas such as control, vibration, tribology, or aerodynamics through project work including Formula Student and Wind-driven car projects.

We have dedicated academic advisers to support you during you time at Sussex, as well as a team of student mentors. You’ll also be welcomed into our active, student-run engineering societies, and benefit from our partnerships with:

  • Women’s Engineering Society
  • Engineers Without Borders UK
  • Engineers in Business Fellowship.

Your future career

Gain the skills for a career in engineering, and benefit from our industry links with companies like Jaguar, IBM, Siemens and Thales. The technical, team-working and design skills you develop on this course mean you can go into graduate jobs in sectors including:

  • aerospace and energy
  • construction and manufacturing
  • automotive.

You can also meet graduate employers at careers events. Recent sessions have included talks by IBM and Atkins, and advice on applying for graduate schemes.
