MEng Mechanical Engineering at Robert Gordon University

Robert Gordon University, United Kingdom

Programme overview

Take your mechanical engineering expertise to an advanced level with an integrated master's degree combining engineering science, advanced analysis and emerging technologies. Develop the technical depth, professional judgement and leadership skills to tackle complex engineering challenges and progress towards a career as a professional engineer. You will progress from strong foundations in mechanical design, thermofluids, materials, dynamics and control to Master's-level study in advanced mechanical engineering, reliability and sustainable engineering leadership.

Faculty: School of Computing, Engineering and Technology  |  Duration: 4 years (Fast-Track) full-time; 5 years full-time  |  Study mode: full-time; integrated masters  |  Intake: September  |  Location: Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom

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 Engineering are highly sought after across a wide range of global industries. The course prepares you for careers in renewable and conventional energy, offshore and subsea engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, transport, robotics, automation, digital engineering, and emerging low-carbon technologies such as hydrogen and electrification.
