MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering

Edinburgh Napier UniversityEdinburgh, United Kingdom

Course overview

To become an industry leader of the future, an engineer needs to have a broad knowledge of all the related disciplines and how to use them individually or combined to tackle technical problems with confidence. In the MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering, we ensure that you will develop this comprehensive view of the subject beyond a single perspective or worldview. Component materials, design, computational analysis, efficient production and unmanned manufacturing methods are the most important aspects that a mechanical engineer should master.

In addition, studying in a multicultural environment with students coming from different backgrounds will give you a real view of how industry works. You will have the opportunity to experience this in your Group Design Project module, where students will propose a multidisciplinary project and will work together to deliver it. Findings will be given to a panel of experts in the form of a collaborative oral presentation and a technical report.

The Global Outlook integrated into this programme has been designed in consultation with key industry players and following their recommendations. You can start your studies with us in September or January. This course requires an ATAS certificate for international applicants which typically takes 6 weeks.

Therefore, we have the following application deadlines for international applicants:
