Mechanical engineers are essential to the workings of the modern world, combining imagination and technology to offer innovative solutions across society and industry.

Mechanical engineers can work across all industrial sectors, developing and manufacturing well-designed products through efficient manufacturing processes. Choosing our BEng Mechanical Engineering degree means you will receive a sound training in the fundamentals and applications of engineering principles and can look forward to a challenging and rewarding career.

Note that if Chartered status is important to you, a four-year Cardiff MEng course may offer a quicker, more direct route than the BEng course.

Other Cardiff University Mechanical Engineering courses available may include:

• The opportunity to follow a sandwich year in industry if you choose the relevant four-year BEng or five-year MEng degree option
• The opportunity to study abroad at a partner institution for one semester if you choose the relevant MEng (International) degree option
• The opportunity to study a language if you choose the relevant MEng degree option with a sandwich year at a university in France, Germany or Spain
