The programme, which is professionally accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), combines a strong base in theoretical background (mechanics, materials, fluid, thermal, systems and control) along with project based laboratory, design, build and simulation experiences, which is undertaken in our state-of-the-art live project space.
The BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Foundation course offers a unique pathway into the world of mechanical engineering, especially designed for students who need additional preparation before entering the main program. Beginning with a foundation year at our City campus, you'll build essential skills in mathematics, computing, and engineering principles. This solid groundwork prepares you for a seamless transition to our state-of-the-art Telford campus, where you'll dive into the core BEng program. Throughout your studies, you'll gain in-depth knowledge of mechanical engineering concepts, hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies, and proficiency in industry-standard software.
Underpinning this project based approach is the opportunity to gain experience of working on real engineering projects with the UWRacing Team, on Formulae Student, Formulae 3, and the Morgan Challenge, as well as attend live track days at Silverstone and further afield.
This unique combination ensure our students develop independence, creative talent, and leadership, as well as the capability for continuing professional growth and self-learning. This ensures that graduates are equipped with the appropriate knowledge and enterprising capabilities to practise engineering professionally, ethically and sustainably in the real working world.
Engineering graduates from the University of Wolverhampton have gained the skills, knowledge and understanding to secure jobs at leading companies such as BAE Systems, Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport, Aston Martin and Rolls Royce.
