Course content

If you’re interested in pursuing a management career within industry, this course combines advanced mechanical engineering subjects with management modules that have been specifically designed for engineers. As part of your studies, you’ll also have the chance to further explore a subject that interests you through your individual research project.

Previous study

To give you a fair chance of succeeding on your course, we need to make sure you have enough experience in relevant subjects. All of our MSc courses are designed for students who have completed a degree similar to our BEng Mechanical Engineering.

Many of our MSc students come from different subject backgrounds, including aerospace, automotive, civil and marine engineering courses, as well as mechatronics, manufacturing, mathematics and physics.

We would like to see evidence of experience in the key subject areas listed below:

Solid mechanics

Mohr's circle, 2D elasticity including plane stress and plane strain, bending of beams, buckling of columns, plasticity, fracture mechanics.

Statics, dynamics and control

Equilibrium, free body diagrams, kinematics and kinetics of mechanisms, vibrations, resonance, block diagram representation of feedback control, Laplace domain models.

Fluid mechanics

Laminar and turbulent flows, Reynolds number, Bernoulli’s equation, calculation of pressure drop in pipework.

Thermodynamics and heat transfer

First and Second Laws, Carnot, Rankine and Otto cycles, general conduction equation, convection, Nusselt number, emissivity, view factors.

We would normally expect to see a strong performance in these subjects on your transcript. If you have studied these topics as part of modules with very different titles, you will need to indicate this on your application form.

Accreditation

We are currently seeking re-accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for 2024-25 entry.
