Engineering offers an enormous range of career opportunities for graduates. If you do not have typical entry qualifications, or are an overseas student without the entry requirements for the first year, the integrated foundation year is designed to provide wider access to accredited honours degrees.
Mechanical engineers are found in every aspect of the engineering industry. They are innovative professionals, transforming ideas into inventions. Mechanical Engineering is a key discipline in today’s highly technological society, and mechanical engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of almost everything you see or touch.
This degree will train you for a rewarding career in a wide range of engineering sectors and develop the key skills required to become a professional engineer. You will gain the ability to use analytical skills and tools to formulate and solve problems relevant to the application of engineering to industry. The degree will also provide a foundation for you to aim for the prized Chartered Engineer status. Mechanical Engineering at Swansea is 9th in the UK for Research Quality by The Complete University Guide 2022.
