MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering

at Durham University

Course structure

The course consists of five core modules to provide an advanced engineering education in Advanced Mechanical technologies alongside an optional module that allows students to increase their understanding in an area suited to their interests and needs. In addition to these taught modules you will also complete a group design project and a major, individual research and development project working closely with an academic in your chosen subject area.

Core taught content:
 

• Non-linear solid mechanics

• Fluid mechanics

• Turbomachinery and propulsion

• Renewable energy technologies

• Future vehicles

Examples of optional taught content:

You can select one optional module from the following topics:
 

• Internet of everything

• Optimisation

To be admitted to the MSc course in Advanced Mechanical Engineering, you need the equivalent of a UK Honours degree to at least an upper second class standard (2:1). This should normally be in an appropriate Engineering or Engineering-related subject including modules in Applied Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists. Although in some instances we can consider industrial or other relevant experience if you have a different first degree.

Fees and funding
 

• Home students    £12,500 per year
• EU students    £27,250 per year
• Island students    £12,500 per year
• International students    £27,250 per year

The Department of Engineering offers postgraduate courses that are challenging and technologically relevant. Durham engineering postgraduates, both taught and research, will be making a vital contribution to our challenge areas: future energy systems; next generation materials and microsystems; and sustainable infrastructure. A broad range of specialist research clusters support our activities in these areas. You will also have access to extensive and diverse research facilities to support your learning.
