The course encompasses topics such as fluid-dynamics, stress analysis and numerical methods. In addition, students will receive training on the latest industry-standard design and solid modelling software, automated manufacturing techniques, as well as sensors, actuators and advanced control systems which drive modern mechanical engineering products.

For their final year project, students may choose to make the most of Surrey’s partnership with the National Physical Laboratory, or explore the cross-disciplinary aspect of mechanical engineering, applying their skills in areas ranging from prosthetics to satellites.

Students can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng (Master of Engineering), which is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on their progress, students may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during their studies.
