Mechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) / MEng

Our degree in Mechanical Engineering at UON is a flexible course, with many options to add even more value to your studies. The BEng is available to study full-time or as a part-time mechanical engineering degree, with teaching delivered over multiple days each week. If you would prefer day-release study, the Engineering BSc (Hons) offers this option.

You can study for three years to achieve the BEng, and you can add an additional year in industrial placement between the second and third year, so that you can put your studies to practice. If you choose to, you can then study for a further year to achieve the award of MEng, an integrated master’s stage, giving you a more in-depth experience of engineering principles and the opportunity to showcase all that you have learned in a substantial group research project. This Mechanical Engineering degree has been accredited by IMechE under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).
