The Mechanical Engineering MSc builds on your undergraduate knowledge base through a number of advanced modules in core subject areas.
These are supported by modules in business and electromechanics, providing you with an insight of the engineering business environment and broadening your understanding of other engineering disciplines.
The course provides you with an understanding of the methodology used in research and an awareness of the numerical techniques underpinning the tools employed in mechanical and thermal analysis.
Topicality and direct application to the needs of society are also catered for, providing you with an understanding of the environmental impact of human activities and energy consumption and the role of the mechanical engineer in seeking appropriate solutions.
Career opportunities
Graduates will be equipped to take up responsible positions within a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, energy and power among others. They will also be prepared, if they wish, to continue on the research path to a doctorate degree.
Further information
To support our courses the faculty offers a wide range of facilities located in the Queens building and Gateway building on the Leicester city campus. Technology is able to provide industry standard equipment and software essential to a career in your chosen field.
Programme
The three semesters contribute equally to the degree award. The following list gives the full-time study pattern. If you choose to undertake a placement, this will take place before the third semester.
First semester (September to January)
* Electromechanics
* Engineering Business Environment and Energy Studies
* Numerical Techniques in Engineering
* Advanced Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Second semester (February to May)
* Advanced Solid Mechanics
* Research Methods
* Engineering Systems Dynamics and Control
* Advanced Materials and Design
Third semester (June to September)
You will work on a major research-based individual project
Teaching/assessment
The modules are delivered through a mixture of lectures, tutorials and laboratories. This ensures a good balance between theory and practice so that real engineering problems are better understood through an underpinning of strong theoretical and analytical knowledge translated into practical skills.
