Mechanical Engineering


Optional one year placement after year 2 Mechanical Engineering:


MEng & BEng Degree Programmes • Aerospace Engineering • Automotive Engineering • Mechanical Engineering • Mechanical with Advanced Design and Innovation • Mechanical with Manufacturing and Management


Our programmes have a mix of academic rigour and practical experience which equip students to enter industry and prosper on many levels as engineers or in management. We have an excellent reputation with industry and one of the highest records of graduate employment. The first two years involve a core of basic engineering subjects providing a broad base of engineering before the option of a year working in industry. In years 3 & 4 students work together with a group business and design project and an individual research project in one of five specialist degree programmes.

Kevin Ukoko Rongione MEng (hons) Mechanical Engineering


Employed at Williams F1 as a Junior Design Engineer in the Suspension, Steering and Brakes Department at Wantage.


“From a very early age I dreamed of working in Formula 1. With a lot of motivation and great support from the Faculty Placement Office, I was able to work for Williams F1 team for my placement year.


“Due to the fast paced nature of the sport, I was involved in the whole process of creating an F1 car; from initial designs and concepts, to building the car and seeing it race on track. This has been a fantastic experience where I have learned a great deal. Not only has it taught me key skills which have been invaluable in my final two years of my course, but I am now in a great position to find a good graduate job.”


Undergraduates quickly become closely integrated members of the team. After an initial period of training in CAD and detail design they make a very strong contribution to the design and development of the car whilst working under the guidance of senior engineers. The scheme has been running for several years with considerable success and Williams benefit from the work output of enthusiastic and passionate engineers at the beginning of their careers.
