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
Passionate about mechanical engineering, and keen to get into the workplace?
If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.
Sheffield’s Mechanical Engineering BEng is an excellent alternative to an MEng course - offering the option to graduate, or continue your engineering education with an MSc or switch to a MEng depending upon performance.
In the first two years you'll study the core subjects that you need to be a successful mechanical engineer and we’ll embed that knowledge by applying it to open-ended projects, typical of the engineering industry.
In the third year, you will have the opportunity to tailor your degree in a way that supports your career aspirations by choosing from a wide selection of engineering modules.
One of the highlights for the third year is the individual research project, chosen from a very wide range of topics and under the supervision of an expert in the chosen field.
Throughout the course, you will be given many opportunities to develop and demonstrate the professional skills, such as written and spoken communication, group working and project management, that employers desire.
This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
