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.
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.
2:2 UK Honours degree, or an Honours degree from a non-UK institution which is judged by the University to be of equivalent worth in Mechanical/Civil/Materials/Chemical/Aerospace Engineering.
