Mechanical Engineering

Design mechanical systems using engineering science, materials, dynamics and design, gaining industry experience that builds the skills to solve real engineering challenges. The University of Leeds has risen nine places to 77th in the latest rankings Design the machines that power our world and build a smarter, cleaner future. Whether designing sports equipment, hospital operating theatres, transport infrastructure or wind turbines, mechanical engineers play a crucial part in shaping how we live.

A wide range of skills are needed to successfully design and manufacture the systems and machines we need in an efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable way, while meeting the demands and challenges of the modern world. As the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery, mechanical engineers must be able to combine engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science.
