MSc Mechanical Engineering
Course overview
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the MSc in Mechanical Engineering at De Montfort University is designed for individuals who wish to understand and apply advanced mechanical engineering principles.
It's also perfect for professionals who want to further their careers by gaining expertise in system design, thermofluids, mechanics, and control. During this course, you will explore not just the theoretical frameworks but also the practical application of engineering systems.
During this programme, you will cover core mechanical engineering topics such as advanced thermodynamics, solid mechanics, dynamics and control, materials and design, and research methods. You will also develop skills such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, project management, effective communication, and practical engineering techniques needed to design and evaluate real-world engineering solutions.
For this course, you will learn through a combination of practical and theoretical methods. You will attend lectures and tutorials, take part in lab sessions, and work on individual and group-based projects.
Notably, you will apply what you've learned through simulations, hands-on lab experiments, computer modelling, and guest lectures. Assessment occurs through case studies, technical analysis, written examinations, and coursework, which may be individual or group-based.
