Mechanical engineers shape our daily life, from heating systems to refrigerators to cars. As automation and robotics expands into to new industries, seize the career opportunities this offers by developing relevant skills and knowledge with a Mechanical Engineering degree.

Designed around real-world problem solving, the integrated masters MEng pathway steadily increases your knowledge base to an advanced level. Initially providing strong foundations in engineering materials, structures and systems, you will advance to study specialist modules in automation, robotics and engineering computation. 

With a focus on your future, you will also build transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry. There is also the option to include an industry placement year, where you can gain additional workplace skills and boost your employability once you graduate.

The course is designed to meet the requirements of the Engineering Councils Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP).

A mechanical engineering degree with Salford can open up employment opportunities in a wide-range of engineering roles. Mechanical engineers are integral to the processes of design, manufacture, testing or maintenance, which means that there are lots of industries that need these skills. Graduates can find exciting roles in automotives, aerospace, military and defence, transport and information technology sectors worldwide.

Today, you will find our engineering alumni in roles ranging from Mechanical Engineer or Aerospace Engineer to a Systems Controller, Mechanical System Designer or Researcher. You may choose to focus your future career in systems design, advanced manufacturing, or even the operational management of complex power stations and infrastructure networks.
