His subject specialisms include laser interactions with materials with specific focus upon surface modification and micro-machining.
Academic Staff List Make an EnquiryThis programme aims to provide the opportunity for graduates from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines to gain the skills, knowledge, and abilities required to meet the significant demands required of the 21st Century professional engineer.
Our Master's in Mechanical Engineering has been developed around the key strands of energy conversion, system design using computer-aided engineering, system control, and sustainability.
Study is based upon enquiry and action learning, where students are introduced to a topic and then have the opportunity to develop their understanding through problem-based scenarios.
You can be part of a thriving hub of research and development within the School of Engineering, where you will have the chance to work alongside academics on projects in collaboration with industry.
Students will be taught through a mixture of lectures, laboratory and practical sessions, and seminar work in our School of Engineering.
Contact and Independent Study
Weekly contact hours on this programme may vary depending on the individual module options chosen and the stage of study.
Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. As a general guide, for every hour in class, students are expected to spend at least two - three hours in independent study.
For more detailed information please contact the programme leader.
† Some courses may offer optional modules. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by staff availability.
The assessment strategy adopted within the MSc Mechanical Engineering reflects the programme's emphasis on applied practice and the development of a range of skills.
Assessment methods will vary from module to module, and this will include both coursework and examinations. Students will also be expected to complete a major research project following the taught modules.
Assessment Feedback
The University of Lincoln's policy on assessment feedback aims to ensure that academics will return in-course assessments to you promptly usually within 15 working days after the submission date.

These specialist courses are designed to help students meet the English language requirements for their intended programme of study.
Postgraduate study is an investment in yourself and your future, and it's important to understand the costs involved and the funding options available before you start. A full breakdown of the fees associated with this programme can be found on our course fees pages.
For eligible students, there are more ways than ever before to fund your postgraduate study, whether you want to do a taught or research course. For those wishing to undertake a Master's course, you can apply for a loan as a contribution towards the course and living costs. Loans are also available to those who wish to undertake doctoral study. The University offers a number of scholarships and funded studentships for those interested in postgraduate study. Learn how Master's and PhD loans, scholarships, and studentships can help you fund your studies on our Postgraduate Fees and Funding pages.
For each course you may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required. Some courses provide opportunities for you to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for travel and accommodation will be covered by the University and so is included in your fee. Where these are optional, you will normally be required to pay your own transport, accommodation and general living costs.
With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and you will find that our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that you are required to read. However, you may prefer to purchase some of these for yourself and you will be responsible for this cost.
Highly skilled engineers are in demand in the UK and overseas. Through teaching methods and high levels of employer collaboration, this programme aims to prepare graduates for careers in the power, energy, and mechanical engineering industries.

Find out MoreAt Lincoln, we strive to make sure our student experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. That is why, in response to the issues presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been prioritising face-to-face teaching sessions for our new and returning students in areas where they are the most valuable, such as seminars, tutorials, workshops, and lab and practical sessions. Additional online opportunities have been introduced where they support learning and have been shown to be successful and popular with our current students.
Safety remains a key focus. We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance makes this necessary, and we will endeavour to keep current and prospective students informed.
