UNRIVALLED FACILITIES

Where better for such a multi-disciplinary degree than multi-disciplinary facilities?

Packed with cutting-edge laboratories, collaborative spaces, and new technology - let Professor Peter Green and our students show you around.

“Something I'm always excited to learn about is software. Here we get the chance to learn two industry-style softwares like LabView, which is used at big companies like NASA. That's going to help in industry so much."
“I could show you around my uni room now... there's just tools and random opened up items everywhere. Does that make me the typical Mech student?"
“We do course modules in everything. From structures, fluids, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials, and lots of software-based things too, like CAD modelling.”
