About Mechanical Engineering (with Foundation Year) Beng(hons) in University of West of England

Engineers constantly ask questions and explore new ideas. They play an important role in developing the world around us - whether that's through the initial design and manufacture of products, or through their development, management or marketing. A degree in Mechanical Engineering will challenge you and transform the way you learn, giving you the opportunity to use your skills in any sector you wish.

Develop your understanding of stress analysis, dynamics, heat transfer, mechatronics, materials and manufacture, and maths.

From 2020, you'll be taught in our new multi-million pound Engineering building. Featuring engine test cells, wind tunnels and dedicated learning spaces, it's purpose-built to support a wide range of engineering disciplines.

Choose your modules in a way that allows you to specialise with your chosen career in mind. Gain an inside track on the profession through factory visits and professional briefings with industry-leading organisations across the UK.

This course is developed alongside our partner employers to make sure you're industry ready when you graduate. They also provide you with placement opportunities, as well as advice on CV-writing, interview techniques and industry issues.

You'll share modules with aerospace and automotive engineering students in your first year. This means that you can transfer onto one of these courses if your focus changes.

Depending on your second year results, you may also be able to extend your studies by a year to graduate with an MEng in Mechanical Engineering.

Join us in using the power of engineering to explore, take risks and find ways to change the world for the better.
