Manufacturing
If you have elected to
follow the Mechanical
Engineering degree you
may wish to specialise in
manufacturing.
The manufacturing
modules are shared with
the traditional
Manufacturing
Engineering and
Management degree
programme and taking
this variant allows you to
understand the
manufacturing
processes and the
requirements for
industrial production of
components and
assemblies including
automated and flexible
production systems,
quality and supply and
the capabilities of the
manufacturing process.

Materials
New materials such as
lightweight alloys and
polymer composites are
continually being
developed and there is a
need for graduates with
an in-depth knowledge
of materials, their
properties and
manufacturing routes, so
that best use can be
made of them.
You gain specialist
knowledge in areas of
materials, such as
processing and
properties of alloys and
composites and the
materials employed in
aeroengine components.
Core modules provide
you with specialist
knowledge about
materials design and
their performance in
service with applications
in industries such as
aerospace, automotive
and power generation.
