MSc in Mechanical Engineering

MSc in Mechanical Engineering

Combining Theory with Practice

How do you design the blades of a wind turbine? How do you calculate the lifetime of a welded construction? How do you develop robots to use in healthcare? How do you build a rocket engine? How do you design future energy systems? How do you optimize mechanical designs and make them more sustainable? How do you take part in the rapid development and use of 3D-printed materials? How do you analyze the dynamic performance of a racing car or off-road vehicle? How do you make advanced computer simulations of complex constructions, flows, and manufacturing processes? These are just some of the questions you may be exploring on the MSc Program in Mechanical Engineering.

The teaching in the Program draws on the lecturers’ own research, and students have the opportunity to apply high-level theory and advanced simulations to practical issues with scope for interdisciplinary collaboration. You will acquire a solid background in mechanical engineering fields such as elasticity, plasticity, composites, metals, failure mechanisms, structural dynamics, fluid dynamics, energy storage, energy conversions, thermodynamics, solar energy, manufacturing, optimization, data science, robotics, etc. You can also gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of computational methods in mechanical engineering such as multibody dynamics, modal analysis, computational fluid dynamics, the finite element method, and many more.
