FAQ's

The BEng Hons Mechanical Engineering is a 3-year undergraduate programme that develops the scientific, analytical and design skills needed to create modern mechanical systems. Students combine theoretical foundations in mathematics, materials, thermofluids and dynamics with practical experience in laboratories, workshops and computational environments to solve real-world engineering challenges. 

A BEng Hons is an undergraduate bachelor degree in mechanical engineering that provides the educational basis to apply for Chartered Engineer status. Graduates can pursue higher degrees including MSc (Master of Science), MEng (Master of Engineering) or PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in advanced mechanical engineering disciplines or specialised areas. 

Yes. The programme is delivered in partnership with the University of Chichester (ranked 26th in the Guardian University Guide 2025) and follows professional standards of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. This supports international recognition, professional development in engineering practice and pathways to chartered engineer status.

The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering is designed for students who want to develop technical expertise in mechanical systems and pursue professional engineering careers. Applicants include school leavers with appropriate qualifications, those seeking career changes into engineering and international students wanting a UK degree whilst studying mechanical engineering in Germany.
