Why this course?

Mechanical engineers are currently in demand in all types of industry. The MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering has been developed to provide high-calibre mechanical engineering graduates with an in-depth technical understanding of advanced mechanical topics, together with generic skills that will allow them to contribute effectively in developing company capabilities.

This course will help you to gain expert knowledge in advanced mechanical engineering topics. You'll also have the opportunity to take modules in general skills such as project management and risk analysis. These are necessary skills for any professional engineer.

What you’ll study

You can take up to nine technical modules and three generic modules. MSc students also undertake an individual project.

If you're taking Advanced Mechanical Engineering (without specialisms) you’re free to select from any of the specialist stream compulsory classes.

If you’re on a specialist programme, you must include the three compulsory modules from your area of specialism, which you'll find in the 'course content' tab. The specialist modules focus on different technical aspects allowing tailored learning to suit individual needs. The generic modules provide other skills which are considered necessary for professional engineers.

MSc students take on an individual project which allows study of a selected topic in-depth. This may be an industry-themed project or one aligned to engineering research at Strathclyde.
