BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

The BEng Mechanical Engineering with professional placement course at the University of Bath is a dynamic and forward-thinking program that offers a perfect blend of academic learning and practical industry experience. The course aims to equip students with fundamental engineering knowledge and the ability to apply it to solve real-world problems. Students are also provided a year-long professional placement opportunity as part of the program, providing them practical exposure in their chosen field.Course Content: The first two years of the course focus on fundamental mechanical engineering principles such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, stress analysis, and dynamics. In the final year, students have the opportunity to choose from a variety of optional units to specialise in areas of their interest, such as Renewable Energy, Robotics, Advanced Materials, etc. Additionally, the integrated placement year features practical experience in businesses and industries related to mechanical engineering. Key Modules: Some of the key modules covered in this course include Design and Manufacturing Technology, Materials Technology, Dynamics, Stress Analysis, Mathematics, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, and a Professional Placement.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), as fully satisfying the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly satisfying the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.Future Careers: After completing this course, students typically go on to become design, research or project engineers across a range of sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, and consultancy. Some of the recent graduates have secured roles with leading companies such as Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Airbus and Dyson.
