Newcastle University is home to world-leading and innovative mechanical engineering research. Our Mechanical Engineering MSc equips you with specialist knowledge and practical skills essential for modern engineering challenges. With opportunities to specialise in mechanical engineering or mechatronics, this programme will prepare you for leadership roles in industry and research.
You'll be taught by leaders in their field, giving you an enhanced learning experience.
You'll enjoy research-led teaching and access to state-of-the-art facilities. You'll learn from researchers solving problems of global importance, who are engaged with industry and working across disciplines.
Our Mechanical Engineering MSc programme is for graduates in:
- mechanical or mechanical-related engineering (eg automotive, aeronautical or design)
- mathematics
- physics
- a related discipline
The flexible nature of this programme allows you to specialise in one of two streams:
- Mechatronics
- Mechanical
These specialist streams are designed to suit your individual needs, background and career aspirations.
This technical course integrates advanced theory and practice that is shaped by industry. Core elements of the MSc will enable you to research:
- model engineering structures
- mechanical systems
Mechatronics stream:
You'll:
- gain an understanding of industrial automation, programmable logical controllers (PLCs) and robotics
- gain knowledge and understanding of networking and open communication solutions for automation and FMS cell applications
- acquire knowledge and understanding of key mechatronic concepts and their specific applications to the robust design of mobile robotic systems
- apply mechanical principles to a range of drive systems, assemblies and components with particular reference to transport applications
Mechanical stream:
You'll:
- develop essential skills and understanding of the design of mechanical power transmissions
- gain an understanding of modern energy storage and handling systems including the advantages and limitations of such systems
- identify and evaluate design for human systems integration
- apply mechanical principles to a range of:
- drive systems
- assemblies and components with particular reference to transport applications
