Engineering
University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom
Joint degree combining Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Mechanical engineering is concerned with creative and imaginative use of engineering principles and science to shape the world around us, through the development of new materials, technologies, processes and products. Mechanical engineers design and develop everything that moves or has moving parts, ranging from spacecrafts and aeroplanes to racing cars, from household goods like refrigerators to the small motors that turn a CD in a CD player, from robotic control of machinery to nanotechnologies, from mechanical hearts and artificial limbs to fitness machines, and from oil and gas exploration and production technologies to wind turbines.
Duration: 5 years (60 months) | Study mode: full-time, integrated masters | Intake: September | Location: Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom
The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. Year 1 compulsory courses: Getting Started at the University of Aberdeen, Principles of Electronics, CAD and Communication in Engineering Practice, Fundamentals of Engineering Materials, Engineering Mathematics 1 and Fundamental Engineering Mechanics.
Mechanical Engineering graduates are employed in a wide range of industry sectors such as the manufacturing, energy, construction, automotive, aerospace and medical industries. They are involved in the design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of mechanical systems and new technologies, and in the safety and reliability assessment of engineering structures and components.
2027 entry. SQA Highers Standard: Applicants presenting the standard grades will usually receive an unconditional offer; more may be asked for where applications exceed places. Highers in Mathematics and Physics or Engineering Science are required. For Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Higher Chemistry (or equivalent) is also required. Widening Access: Applicants who meet one or more of our widening access metrics and present with BBC, are guaranteed an unconditional offer. Foundation Apprenticeship: One FA is equivalent to a Higher at A. It cannot replace any required subjects. Note: We do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B grade at Advanced Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. National 5 in English at Grade C or above is also required. A LEVEL Standard: Three A Levels at BBB. Good performance required in Mathematics, plus at least one from Physics, Design & Technology, Engineering or Chemistry. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. Widening Access: Three A Levels at CCC, for applicants who meet one or more widening access criteria. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. BTEC LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIPLOMA DDM. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering degrees. Good performance required in Mathematics and Physics. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering A Level Chemistry is required. GCSE English at Grade C/4 is also required. IRISH LEAVING CERTIFICATE Five subjects at Higher, with four at H2 and one at H3. H2 or above in Mathematics and H3 or above in Physics required. For Chemical or Petroleum Engineering H3 Chemistry is also required. INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE 34 points with 6, 6, 6 at HL including Mathematics and Physics. In addition for entry to Chemical or Petroleum Engineering Chemistry is required. SL English is also required.
