BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Sandwich Year

Our degree in Mechanical Engineering is designed to build your confidence and skills base and will equip you with an awareness of engineering in the wider social, ethical, sustainable, and economic context. You will gain the practical skills and expertise to become a successful practicing engineer, with the full educational basis to facilitate progression to engineering management roles. The first year of the programme provides a foundational grounding in engineering. You’ll then study more advanced principles of mechanics, manufacturing technology, energy systems and engineering design, potentially working on projects with companies such as Nissan, BAE Systems and Rolls Royce. At Northumbria, our Mechanical Engineering BEng is a three long degree. You will also have the option of taking a placement or study abroad sandwich year and increasing your study time to four years. The programme also allows you to explore contemporary mechanical engineering and undertaking an interdisciplinary project at Level 7 to progress onto a Master MEng qualification.

Employability is embedded at all years within the Mechanical Engineering programme at Northumbria. Our teaching focuses on the authentic application of professional knowledge and skills through independent enquiry-based learning approaches and collaboration with industry and professional bodies. Interaction with organisations such as NGOs, charities, professional councils, and schools and other universities will provide a broad understanding of the critical impact Mechanical Engineering has in the development of a sustainable and ethical society. You will develop knowledge and skills within a scaffolded, supportive environment as realistic preparation for your future career. Enhancing your employment prospects and developing links with industry are important aspects of the Mechanical Engineering programme. Between your second and third years of study you will have the opportunity to undertake an industrial placement, or to study abroad, which provide you with invaluable industrial and international experience. Academic staff will work with you to help you understand and explore the different types of careers suited to a graduate engineer and assist you in identifying possible avenues for you to explore. Our dedicated Careers and Employment Service will also support you in finding and securing part-time employment during your studies, placement opportunities, and full-time employment on completion of your programme. Upon graduation, you will be in an excellent position to become a practising engineer with the skills for progression into both technical and engineering management roles. If you wish to undertake further study at postgraduate level, it is possible to transfer to our MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering or continue onto one of our MSc degrees.
