**Overview**
If you've got an interest in engineering and want to lead from the front by designing and building products that are smarter, faster and more efficient, this is the ideal course for you.
On this BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering degree course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of engineering science and design, including Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and specialise in more advanced subjects such as engineering programming and sustainable development.
You'll create your own designs in our manufacturing workshops and have the option to get involved in the University's Formula Student racing team.
After the course, you'll be set to work in engineering and technology in areas such as manufacturing and the armed forces. Or you could start you own specialist company.
**Accredited by:**
This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), meeting in full the academic requirement for IEng (Incorporated Engineer) and in part the academic requirement for CEng (Chartered Engineer).
This course is also accredited by the European Engineering Programmes (EUR-ACE) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

**What you'll experience**
On this course you'll:
- Learn about the underlying elements of successful engineering and manufacturing projects, including solid mechanics and dynamics, and electrical and electronic principles
- Specialise in advanced subjects such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD) engineering, sustainable product development and design for quality
- Use our CAD and rapid prototyping suites, energy systems lab, petroleum engineering lab, and metrology and 3D scanning microscopy facilities
- Put your skills to the test by building your own products in our manufacturing workshops
- Have to option to expand your learning and meet potential employers by completing your final-year project in industry
- Get the chance to be involved in Formula Student, where you'll design, construct and test a competitive race car with fellow students
**Careers and opportunities**
After the course, you'll be eligible to apply for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status and progress to Chartered Engineer status (CEng) with further study and experience.
There's currently a shortage of talented engineers in the UK and abroad, so there will be many opportunities open to you when you graduate.
