Mechanical Engineering
Bristol is a centre of excellence for mechanical engineering, with a dedicated Industrial Liaison Office, that develops engineering-specific industrial links for students.
Why study Mechanical Engineering at Bristol? Bristol’s engineering heritage is world famous, and the city continues to develop cutting-edge engineering. Mechanical engineering tuition at Bristol is outstanding. We are ranked seventh nationally for the subject in the Complete University Guide 2018.
We rank highly for our research,* and our undergraduate courses are research-led, particularly in their later years. Our courses are fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Upon completion, you will have already met part (studying BEng) or all (studying MEng) of the exemplifying benchmark academic requirements for becoming an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).
Graduate destinations have included Airbus, Arup, E.ON, KPMG, Network Rail and Rolls- Royce, and graduates have also progressed to other careers in the automotive, aerospace, building, medical and marine industries.

*Mechanical Engineering ranked joint fifth in the UK for Research Quality in the Complete University Guide subject tables.
BEng/MEng Mechanical Engineering A-levels A*AA (AAB†
) IB 38 (34† )
In the first two years, you will learn fundamental principles through lectures, laboratories and design classes, as well as projects in modelling and manufacturing. Teaching is based on four main themes: design and manufacture, dynamics and control, materials, and thermofluids. The third year applies the principles learned to real, complex engineering applications. An open- ended individual research project is a major element, requiring independent and creative thinking. In year four of the MEng, you will select from a range of specialist options and undertake a substantial group project to address an open- ended technical challenge.
MEng Mechanical Engineering with Study Abroad/MEng Mechanical Engineering with Study in Continental Europe A-levels A*AA (AAB†
) IB 38 (34† )
The Study Abroad course provides the opportunity to study overseas in an English- speaking environment. You will follow the MEng programme in your first, second and fourth years and spend your third year at an institution outside Europe. On the Study in Continental Europe course, you will study a language in years one and two and spend your third year at a university in Europe. These courses are ideal if you are seeking a career abroad or with a multinational company.
MEng Mechanical Engineering with a Year in Industry A-levels A*AA (AAB†
) IB 38 (34† Accreditation )
This option provides the opportunity to spend your third year applying your knowledge in an industrial environment. There is no direct entry, but you can transfer from our other courses if you reach a high academic standard and are successful at a placement interview.
