About Mechanical EngineeringMEng, MEng - at University of Sheffield

Covering the fundamental principles of engineering, with the flexibility to focus on specific areas of interest in later years, this degree provides a blend of theoretical learning with practical hands-on experience, equipping you to tackle and solve real engineering challenges.

There is a strong focus on engineering design and modelling throughout this course, which gives you plenty of opportunities to apply your theoretical knowledge to practical engineering problems.

In the first two years you'll study the core subjects you need to be a successful mechanical engineer, including mathematics, fluids, dynamics, thermodynamics and the mechanical behaviour of materials. We’ll embed that knowledge by applying it to open-ended projects, typical of the engineering industry.

The second half of the degree is about honing in on those areas you find most fascinating, choosing from a wide selection of engineering modules to reflect your interests and career aspirations. For example, you can stay with mechanical engineering or choose to specialise in biomechanics, and learn how to improve human health by integrating engineering with biomedical sciences and clinical practice.

Whichever challenge you meet, however you decide to tailor your degree, you’ll graduate as a specialist ready to make your contribution to the field.

This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
