Mechanical Engineering (with Placement year) Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)

Work towards Incorporated Engineer status with our project-based curriculum, getting hands on engineering experience.

Get involved in hands-on projects with other engineering students, developing your teamwork and leadership skills while learning how to analyse and solve problems creatively. This course gives you real world experience, preparing you for employment.

We offer a unique project-based curriculum with industry-led Live Briefs, where you’ll apply science and engineering principles to propose solutions to problems from companies such as BAE systems, Ford Motor Company, New Hollands, Antobot, Tecosim and Transporter Engineering.

This innovative approach allows you to spend 50% of your time in the classroom and 50% in the engineering workshops and specialist laboratories.

Why ARU?
