Mechanical Engineering University of Hull

Overview

Develop the advanced mechanical engineering skills, competencies and knowledge you need to be successful in this field.

The MSc  Mechanical Engineering offered at The University of Hull is designed in collaboration with industry, so you’ll learn the up-to-date and relevant skills the sector needs. Skills such as six sigma, sustainability, research and project management. You’ll also carry out an individual design or research and development project – including opportunities to work on real-world engineering projects.

Working with industry-standard software such as Ansys, SOLIDWORKS, windPRO and LCA, you’ll build critical digital skills. Our mechanical engineering students have open access to our state-of-the-art facilities such as our 3D printing and robotics labs. So you can practise and hone your practical engineering skills in your own time, too.

You could also get involved with extra-curricular activities including the opportunity to join our thriving Robotics Society and become part of our Hull Electric Racing Team (HERT). As a member of HERT, you’ll help to build a single-seater racing car and compete against other students at Silverstone.

Future prospects

• Mechanical engineering is the largest engineering discipline, giving you the chance to progress to careers within most industry sectors. Mechanical engineers are involved in almost everything we use. From nanotechnology to healthcare equipment to planes, windfarms and even spacecraft. And with a national shortage of engineers, you're likely to be in high demand.
• Our course is fully accredited by the IMechE and the IET. This shows employers you’ve studied a Master’s degree that meets globally recognised standards. It puts you on the pathway to Chartered Engineer status too. We’re also in the process of becoming accredited by the Women in Engineering Society.

Take a look at our facilities

• FabLab

Equipped with the latest 3D printers, CNC machines and laser scanners and cutters, our FabLab gives students the chance to digitally fabricate models and prototypes. Then test them.

• HERT simulators

If you become a member of HERT, you’ll have exclusive access to our state-of-the-art F1 simulators to develop your car and hone you engineering and driving skills.

• Mechanical Engineering Workshop

You’ll have access to our workshop so you can get to grips with machinery such as lathes, milling machines, pillar drills, CNC machines and a variety of hand tools.

• Robotics Lab

You could get hands-on and interact with our DJI Drones, Turtlebot3 mobile robots and humanoids like Baxter, Nao and Pepper in our specialist Robotics Lab.
