This intellectually challenging MEng course is fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and provides the full academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, the highest professional qualification for an Engineer.

Mechanical Engineering is concerned with the design, development, construction, operation and maintenance of just about anything that has moveable parts, from artificial hip joints to oil rigs.

Mechanical engineers are constantly striving to produce safer, more durable, cost effective and efficient machines and mechanical devices, many of these having a direct impact on society and the quality of our lives.

Chartered Engineers are always in very high demand and excellent job opportunities are available in practically every field of work. If you are a team-player who has the ability to work methodically and logically and enjoys the challenge of innovating and problem-solving, this course will lead you into a fulfilling career with excellent prospects.
