About this course

BEng Mechanical Engineering in Blackpool. Classes run at Bispham Campus, part-time during the day over three years.

Mechanical engineering covers design, manufacture, and how systems are built to work. You'll study topics that apply across automotive, aerospace, and healthcare industries. The course suits anyone who wants to understand how things are designed and made.

Entry requires a minimum of 48 UCAS points in a relevant subject, including mathematics. You'll finish with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering.

Who this course is for

One of the most recognised engineering disciplines, mechanical engineers focus on the design, development, manufacture, installation and maintenance of systems and devices which support the activities of multiple industry sectors, including automotive, aerospace and healthcare. A current shortfall in the number of skilled mechanical engineers means that there are excellent career opportunities so if you are interested in how things are designed, manufactured and made to work, this course could be for you. Our three-year, part-time BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree starts at Level 5 and is designed for students who have already achieved a relevant Level 4 qualification and who ideally want to combine study with existing work commitments. You will move directly onto subject specialisms building on the core knowledge you will have already acquired at Level 4. Opportunities to explore software and practical subject areas such as computer aided design, controls and simulation and computational fluid dynamics are embedded within the modules to enable a blend of practical and theoretical experiences to enhance employability. Many of our graduates are now employed by major companies such as EDF Energy, Westinghouse Springfields, Airbus, NIC, GCE and Ford Motor Company as mechanical design, production, project or research and development engineers. Industry Accreditation This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Entry requirements

A minimum of 48 UCAS points (excluding Functional Skills) in an appropriate discipline: DD from A levels to include mathematics and a technology, engineering or science-based subject; PPP from Extended Diploma, MP from Diploma, MM from 90 Credit Diploma in a science or technology-based subject, including passes in mathematics.

What you will learn

  • You'll study the principles of mechanical design and engineering systems.
  • You'll develop knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials.
  • You'll explore how mechanical systems are installed and maintained.
  • You'll apply mathematics and science to real engineering problems.
  • You'll build understanding of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and healthcare.
  • You'll develop skills in analysing and solving engineering challenges.

How you will learn

You'll attend daytime classes at Bispham Campus. Learning is delivered in a classroom setting, combining taught sessions with practical engineering study. Assessment methods will be confirmed by the centre before you start. The part-time schedule spreads study across three years.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Bispham Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do
