What you will study

Stage 1 is common across all engineering degrees and provides a strong foundation in core engineering principles. You will develop essential skills in mathematics, physics, programming, and electrical and mechanical systems. Through hands-on labs and team-based projects, you will begin to apply theory to practice while building confidence in problem-solving, communication, and design, laying the groundwork for more specialised study in renewable energy engineering in later stages.

Career pathways

Graduates of MEng Mechanical and Offshore Engineering are highly sought after across the global energy and offshore engineering sectors. The course prepares you for careers in offshore oil and gas, offshore wind, subsea engineering, marine engineering, and wider energy industries, as well as roles in manufacturing, robotics, automation and emerging low-carbon technologies.
