MSc Mechanical Engineering

at University of Chester

The course has a core theme addressing advanced issues in mechanical engineering and manufacturing, which will equip you to deal with complex problems using a wide range of contemporary techniques. Additionally, the development of a rigorous approach to research and original enquiry will be fostered in our Research Methods and project modules.

The selection of optional modules is determined by means of a shared review of an individual student's previous educational attainment in the key skills of engineering. Students with little/no previous knowledge of energy systems are encouraged to take the SE7041 Energy Systems module, with the option of the SE7006 Energy & Environment module for more advanced applicants. Similarly, students who do not have previous experience in manufacturing are advised to take SE7042 Advanced Manufacturing Processes and Systems, and not SE7037 Agile and Lean Manufacturing for Contemporary Enterprises.
