Overview

Mechanical Engineering (Hons) offered by the University of Greater Manchester has been awarded professional accreditation by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and uses UK-SPEC learning outcomes designed to meet in part the academic requirements leading to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

This course is ideal if you're an HND student looking to top-up your qualification to degree standard. Year 2 or 3 HND students will be selected according to their level of mathematics, science, and experience. If you’re interested in a degree apprenticeship, the department is actively looking at collaboration with local companies.

The department provides a friendly, yet challenging, environment where the emphasis is on both the theories and principles of mechanical engineering and their application in a work context. You’ll carry out case studies, practical and laboratory work and problem-solving projects. You’ll also develop the presentation and managerial skills that you'll need to manage engineering projects and support your future employment in the industry.

Students at Mechanical Engineering (Hons) at the University of Greater Manchester will:

• have the opportunity to work on live engineering projects, both as an individual and as part of a group.

• participate in inter-university student competitions including the IMechE’s annual undergraduate design challenge, which includes all the universities in the North West.

• benefit from industry visits and work placements.

• get hands-on experience using state-of-the-art equipment and software such as SolidWorks, Ansys, and MATLAB, for analysis and design, prototyping and control.
