Our Mechanical Engineering MSc programme is for graduates in:

• Mechanical or mechanical-related engineering (eg automotive, aeronautical or design)
• Mathematics
• Physics
• A related discipline

The flexible nature of this programme allows you to specialise in one of three streams:

• Mechatronics
• Mechanical
• Material

This technical course integrates advanced theory and practice that is shaped by industry. Core elements of the MSc will enable you to research:

• model engineering structures
• mechanical systems

The flexible nature of this programme allows you to specialise in one of three streams:

• Mechatronics
• Mechanical
• Material

The Mechanical Engineering master's has three specialist streams to suit your individual needs, background and career aspirations.

Mechanical stream:
You'll:

• Develop essential skills and understanding of the design of mechanical power transmissions
• Gain an understanding of modern energy storage and handling systems including the advantages and limitations of such systems
• Identify and evaluate design for human systems integration
• Apply mechanical principles to a range of:
  • Drive systems
  • Assemblies and components with particular reference to transport applications

This accredited degree allows you to explore both psychology and sports and exercise science. You'll apply your learning to help athletes perform, and promote physical activity and exercise with the wider public.

This three-year, joint honours degree focuses on building your knowledge across both psychology and sport and exercise science.

You'll study key disciplines in psychology and sport and exercise science, such as physiology, bioenergetics, nutrition, and social and developmental psychology.

You'll have access to our brand new building, with state-of-the-art facilities, including:

• A forensic interviewing suite
• A nutrition and food preference unit
• A media and behaviour lab
• Medical consultation rooms
• Psychological testing cubicles

You'll also cover advanced topics which are linked to the research of our expert staff, exploring applied sport and exercise psychology and clinical psychology.

This four-year master's degree will prepare you for a rewarding career as a civil engineer with a strong understanding of our core infrastructure. You'll learn how we can address global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity.

With a practical, design-led focus running throughout the programme, you'll work in our specialist labs, using industry-standard equipment and techniques to gain real-world experience. This is supported by our industry links and team of world-class researchers.

You'll develop an in-depth knowledge of all five civil engineering disciplines, with the opportunity to specialise in environmental, geotechnical, transport, or water resource engineering in your final year.
