And at Surrey, you won't just learn about mechanical engineering - you'll become a mechanical engineer. Our BEng and MEng programmes provide broad engineering knowledge, giving you a wide range of engineering career options.
* You’ll learn from internationally recognised academics in professional quality, [industry-standard facilities](https://www.surrey.ac.uk/school-mechanical-engineering-sciences/facilities) - including our state-of-the-art Design Centre, materials testing laboratory, flight simulator and several wind tunnels.
* Get the skills and experience employers are looking for with our award-winning [Professional Training placements](https://www.surrey.ac.uk/professional-training-placements) - our students have place at Jaguar Land Rover, Airbus and Rolls-Royce.
* Our mechanical engineering degree courses are designed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of modern society and are professionally accredited by the [Institution of Mechanical Engineers](https://www.imeche.org/).
* You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng in Mechanical Engineering. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an [integrated masters](https://www.surrey.ac.uk/undergraduate-study/integrated-masters).
We’re preparing you for the future by integrating AI into every course, building digital skills, confidence and creativity that employers value in tomorrow’s workplace.
What you will study\
The course encompasses topics such as fluid-dynamics, stress analysis and numerical methods. In addition, you’ll receive training on the latest industry-standard design and solid modelling software, automated manufacturing techniques and sensors, actuators and advanced control systems, which drive modern mechanical engineering products.
For your final year project, you may choose to make the most of Surrey’s partnership with the [National Physical Laboratory](https://www.npl.co.uk/). You could also explore the cross-disciplinary aspect of mechanical engineering, applying your skills in areas ranging from prosthetics to satellites.
