Teaching & Assessment
The course will combine a challenging programme of academic study with opportunities to develop the personal skills that are required to become a successful engineer.
The MSc is taught using an innovative block delivery architecture, which makes it suitable for attendance by part-time students, as well as those wanting to study individual module blocks for the purposes of continued professional development (CPD).
This MSc programme involves a mixture of lectures, laboratory and practical sessions and seminar work in the new purpose built Engineering School.
Assessment comprises completely of coursework conducted throughout the programme and a major research project conducted after the taught modules.
Facilities
The School of Engineering moved into its new purpose built home (the Engineering Building) in the centre of the Brayford Pool Campus in August 2011. This state-of-the-art building has been designed by a leading firm of architects and will provide the best learning environment for engineering students using modern teaching spaces, cutting edge technology and new equipment.
Careers
Due to the innovative teaching methods and high levels of employer collaboration, students will have direct entry into Siemens and other companies offering opportunities in power, energy and mechanical engineering.
Entry Requirements
Applications are welcome from graduates achieving a good first degree (minimum lower second class honours) in mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline, or a good first degree (minimum lower second class honours) in a physical science.
