MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering

Sheffield Hallam University

Course overview

The Sheffield Hallam University MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering programme helps students develop skills with modern technologies and equipment to become technical experts or managers in the field. This full-time, one-year course is located at the City Campus, and it focuses on mechanical engineering design from a manufacturing perspective, using computational methods to solve engineering problems and applying theory to real-world projects.

Students are expected to learn in a combination of lab sessions, lectures, group projects, and independent study, and the progress of students is measured with coursework, seminars, and practical tasks. The course will also help them in establishing independence in learning, which is an important component of the final MSc project, where they work under a supervisor.
