About Program

Program Overview


Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, it offers a strong foundation in design, manufacturing, and practical experience through an optional industrial placement year. Graduates are eligible for Chartered Engineer registration and well-prepared for diverse careers in the field.

Program Outline

The program is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering Designers on behalf of the Engineering Council, indicating that it meets the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The program aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes necessary for a successful career in mechanical engineering. Students will develop a strong foundation in engineering science, design, and manufacturing, and will have the opportunity to apply their learning through individual and group projects, as well as an optional industrial placement year.


Outline:

The program is structured as follows:

  • Year 1: Students will take core modules in mathematics, physics, engineering science, and design.
  • Year 2: Students will continue to take core modules in engineering science, design, and manufacturing, and will also begin to specialize in mechanical engineering.
  • Year 3: Students will spend the year on an industrial placement, gaining practical experience in a professional engineering environment.
  • Year 4: Students will complete their studies with a major Group Design & Make project, as well as a range of compulsory and optional modules.

Assessment:

Students will be assessed through a variety of methods, including:

  • Coursework
  • Examinations
  • Group projects
  • Presentations
  • Research projects
  • Practical assessments

Teaching:

The program is taught by a team of experienced academic staff, who are actively engaged in research and industry. Teaching methods include:

  • Lectures
  • Tutorials
  • Practical classes
  • Workshops
  • Group projects
  • Industrial placements

Careers:

Graduates of the program will be well-prepared for a wide range of careers in mechanical engineering, including:

  • Design and development
  • Manufacturing
  • Project management
  • Consulting
  • Research and development

Other:

  • The program is offered on a full-time basis and takes four years to complete.
  • Students who successfully complete the program will be eligible for membership of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).
  • The program is also accredited by the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED).

  • £9,250 per year
  • If you are a student from the EU, EEA or Switzerland, you may be asked to complete a fee status questionnaire and your answers will be assessed using guidance issued by the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA).
  • Additional costs
  • All students will need at least one device to approve security access requests via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). We also recommend students have a suitable laptop to work both on and off-campus. As a student on this course, you should factor some additional costs into your budget, alongside your tuition fees and living expenses: Books - You can access all the essential course books through our libraries and there is usually no need to purchase your own copies. Should you wish to do so, these vary in cost but would be around £30-£80 per book depending upon whether you buy new or pre-owned, paper or electronic. Printing – There is little need to print as coursework is submitted online and teaching materials provided electronically. If you do wish to print, black and white printing costs 4p per side. Trips – The department covers the travel cost of compulsory field trips. PPE – This course does not require PPE items to be bought. Workshop PPE is provided to you in the first year for the duration of your course. Any other essential requirements are met with no cost involved. Industrial year - Any costs associated with your industrial placement year, including travel or accommodation will need to be factored in as they are not covered by your fees. Summer work placement - If you do a work placement, any costs associated with travel or accommodation will need to be factored in as they are not covered by your fees. Design Materials – Materials for use in design projects are supplied. Calculator - While the calculator you used for your former study is usually sufficient some students will choose to purchase a new calculator which will cost around £10. Please note that these figures are approximate and subject to change. There may also be costs issued by the university for replacement student ID cards, additional transcripts or certification letters, reassessments and library fines.
  • Scholarships and bursaries
  • The University of Nottingham offers a wide range of bursaries and scholarships. These funds can provide you with an additional source of non-repayable financial help.
  • Faculty-specific funding
  • In addition to the above, students applying to the Faculty of Engineering may be eligible for faculty-specific or industry scholarships.
  • International students
  • We offer a range of international undergraduate scholarships for high-achieving international scholars who can put their Nottingham degree to great use in their careers.
