Learn how engineering, manufacture and management work together to find product solutions in industry. Explore the creation process from design to end product.

Our course develops your understanding of the sciences and disciplines relating to manufacturing. You’ll study engineering, manufacturing and management to understand their role in production processes.

We draw on our links with industry to build your knowledge of the integrated systems, processes and technologies used in advanced manufacturing. Learning about the latest engineering developments will inspire you to explore low-carbon and sustainable ways to produce high-quality products.

Your first two years give you a detailed understanding of the subject and follow the same course structure as our other mechanical engineering degrees. This allows you to move between any of our BEng and MEng courses up to the end of your second year.

You’ll have the opportunity to translate ideas into practice through project work. In your final year, you'll work on a semester-long, full-time individual project that encourages you to take imaginative approaches to solve complex engineering problems. You could explore new business or engineering technologies in areas such as aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, medical devices, or data management.

Learn from experts in the field

We are invested in helping you get the most out of your learning experience. You’ll learn from academics with expertise in mechanical engineering and established links with industry. They have knowledge in design, manufacture, biomechanics, materials, automotive and aerospace. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Use specialist facilities

You’ll have access to teaching and research laboratories that support a range of practical activities and project work. We design our facilities to be like industrial workspaces so that you gain insight into what it is like to work in a professional environment. You’ll also have access to our research facilities, which are fitted with the latest technology. This is similar to the equipment you could use in industry when you graduate. Our facilities include:

a design activity centre
an undergraduate model shop

Learning and assessment

You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.

Learning

Assessment

Learning and teaching

We provide a flexible learning experience delivered online and in person on campus. You should expect to spend around 35 to 40 hours a week studying on your course. These hours consist of structured activities and independent learning.
You can expect to spend between 15 and 20 hours a week on structured learning activities, which are made up of in-person and online sessions. Timetabled sessions on campus include a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratories. Online activities might include following a recorded lecture or other learning materials or joining a timetabled live interactive session.

Independent learning

The rest of your time will be spent in independent learning and take up between 15 to 25 hours a week. This includes individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments, presentations, or revising for exams.

IT requirements

You'll need regular access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and a reliable internet connection. This will allow you to take full advantage of online resources and also prepare you to learn fully online, should it become necessary.

A laptop computer is needed to make the most of your timetabled sessions on campus. Key software for your course will be available to you remotely, including access to MS Teams and Zoom through your university account.

Assessment breakdown

You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. These include examinations, reports, projects and presentations. The balance of assessment by coursework, exams and practical work will vary throughout your degree, depending on the optional units that you choose.

As a guide, 40-50% of the course will be assessed by coursework and practical work, and 40-60% by examination. In your third year, you’ll complete a group project and in your final year, you’ll complete an individual project or dissertation. You’ll be assessed individually but you may also be assessed as part of a group.

We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.

Professional accreditations

By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and become part of a national engineering community. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more academic exams.

Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council, to partially meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.

The United Kingdom currently subscribes to The Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) Directive. The MRPQ Directive provides a reciprocal framework of rules which enables European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals to have their professional qualifications recognised in a state other than the one in which the qualification was obtained. In the event of a no deal Brexit, from 1 January 2021, the MRPQ Directive will no longer apply to the UK. However, it is anticipated that there will be a new system for recognising professional qualifications between the UK, EEA, and Switzerland.

Entry requirements

We consider a range of factors when assessing your application for this course, including your previous academic performance (such as GCSEs), your personal statement, your predicted grades and the combination of subjects you study at A level (or equivalent).

Your personal statement should explain your motivation for choosing this degree and any relevant non-academic interests and achievements. You are more likely to be successful if you demonstrate a keen interest in Engineering and manufacturing processes through relevant reading, extracurricular or co-curricular activities, or work experience.

You will need a strong performance in both Mathematics and Physics or Engineering as part of your entry qualifications. If you are taking qualifications including a mixture of subjects (such as A levels) we prefer either a relevant subject (such as Design and Technology) or a traditional subject (such as History). We have a preference for applicants who study A level Further Mathematics (or equivalent).

We know that the context in which you are studying can have an impact on your ability to perform your best in exams and coursework, or limit which subjects or qualifications you are able to study at your school or college. We consider any application based on its merits, including your background and circumstances, including through:
