MSc Mechanical Engineering

The MSc Mechanical Engineering course offered by Swansea University is a full-time, one-year postgraduate programme designed to provide students with a sound understanding of mechanical engineering principles, along with practical and experimental skills. The course is structured to meet industrial demands for professional engineers.Course Content: The course is divided into two parts. The first part includes several taught modules where students acquire knowledge and understanding of key topics such as continuum mechanics, advanced heat transfer, and advanced solid mechanics. The second part is dedicated to a summer project where students engage in research, design, or development work related to mechanical engineering.Key Modules: Key modules in the course include Dynamics, Nanoscale Surface Engineering, Power Electronics, Advanced Heat Transfer, Composite Materials, Finite Element Computational Analysis, and a number of others. The research or development project in the summer involves a written dissertation and forms 60 credits of the course.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), which means it meets the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.Future Careers: Graduates from this programme have gone on to work in a variety of sectors including design, consultancy, management, automotive, aerospace, and energy. Industries served by mechanical engineers are always on the lookout for well-qualified professionals, providing a vast range of opportunities for career growth.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
