This Master of Science (MSc) degree in Advanced Mechanical Engineering is designed for graduates seeking to deepen their expertise in mechanical engineering disciplines. The program emphasizes the application of computational and experimental methods for the analysis, design, and manufacture of complex engineering systems. It aims to equip students with advanced engineering skills, allowing them to tailor their studies through a wide selection of optional modules to align with their specific interests or career aspirations in industry or research. The curriculum is informed by the University of Leeds' globally renowned research and the active engagement of its Industrial Advisory Board, ensuring that the course content remains relevant and aligned with current industry trends. Graduates will be prepared with up-to-date practices and industry-relevant knowledge for careers in advanced mechanical engineering. Students will develop advanced skills through core modules in areas like experimental methods, advanced manufacturing, and computational modelling, which serve as a foundation for their individual research project. A team design project, addressing industrially relevant problems with multidisciplinary approaches, is also a key component.
The course includes compulsory modules in advanced engineering skills, a team design project, and an individual professional project. Students can also select from a range of optional modules to specialize in areas of interest.
This Masters degree is accredited as meeting the requirements for Further Learning to Masters Level for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Candidates completing the MSc who hold an underpinning accredited IEng degree or a non-accredited bachelor degree will need to apply for an academic assessment to determine whether they will meet the educational base for CEng registration.
