Course Description
This course seeks to produce postgraduates with the versatility and depth of understanding to deal with new and unusual challenges in mechanical engineering, alongside the necessary imagination and creativity to innovate.
- The MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering is informed by Coventry University’s commercial and academic research in areas such as vehicle dynamics, light weighting, renewable energy technologies of wind and hydro power, advanced simulation and future concepts.
- Our collaborative links with industry facilitate a programme of guest speakers (subject to availability) who will share the latest technological advances, issues and trends, as well as provide opportunities to engage with companies on ‘live’ collaborative projects.
- Coventry University offers modern facilities in our £50 million Engineering and Computing Building. Facilities include a Mercedes AMG Petronas wind tunnel, composites lab, metrology lab, shaker rig, flow lab, engine test cell, automotive workshop, fatigue and tensile testing (Instron), a full-size Harrier Jet, three further simulators, civil engineering specialist testing equipment, a range of Computerised Numeric Control (CNC) machinery and a laser workshop amongst others.
- You will have the option to apply for a ‘work placement’ opportunity, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects.
Entry Requirements
An honour’s degree (with a minimum of a second-class honour’s) in a mechanical or automotive related subject or have an equivalent professional background.
Each application will be considered on its merits and the final decision will be made by the course director.

Student Destinations
On successful completion, you will be able to:
- Develop and test strategies for engineering products involving appropriate instrumentation, experimental methods, and data analysis techniques.
- Manage people, processes and engineering projects to promote the commercial success of an engineering enterprise.
- Model and analyse innovative engineering systems using appropriate engineering science and mathematical analysis techniques, such as analysis of aerodynamics, thermodynamic cycles, stress and dynamics.
- Synthesise solutions to innovative engineering design problems.
- Select appropriate instrumentation for the functional design of innovative engineering products and systems and to support development and test work.
- Search for and evaluate information sources to identify information essential to solving engineering problems.
- Use test equipment and machines, including 20% scale model wind tunnel, composites lab, metrology lab, four-pot shaker rig, flow lab, AVL engine test cell, automotive workshop, fatigue and tensile testing (Instron), Modal analysis hardware and software, for experimental work to support product development.
- Use commercial software in the solution of engineering problems, such noise and vibration, aerodynamic drag and lift and stress analysis.
- Communicate graphically the design of a component or system through sketches, CAD etc.
A global skills shortage continues to ensure engineers remain among the most in-demand professions.
