We have 405 Masters Degrees in Mechanical Engineering
Masters degrees in Mechanical Engineering involve advanced study of the design, development and manufacture of mechanical systems and technologies.
Related postgraduate specialisms include Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Manufacturing Systems Engineering.
Entry requirements normally include an undergraduate degree in an appropriate subject such as Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Physics.
Why study a Masters in Mechanical Engineering?
Develop Skills and Knowledge
Masters degrees allow you to deepen your understanding of a subject and develop new skills. For a Masters in Mechanical Engineering, this might include:
- Advanced Engineering Principles: Mastery of advanced mechanical engineering concepts, theories and methodologies, including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and materials science.
- Design and Manufacturing: Skills in computer-aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and advanced manufacturing techniques.
- Research and Analysis: Proficiency in conducting research, analysing data, and applying findings to solve complex engineering problems.
Further Career Development
Completing a Masters degree could be beneficial for your career development. For some roles, a Masters degree is outright required—for others, it may instead lead to faster career progression or improve your career mobility. For more information, please visit our Masters employability guide.
After completing your Masters in Mechanical Engineering, a potential career option might be employment as a Mechanical Engineer. According to UK salary data from Glassdoor, a Mechanical Engineer earns an average of £37,639 per year, dependent on factors such as experience, employer and employment location.
Improve Employability
Completing a Masters degree may also improve your employability. According to the UK government's LEO Graduate and Postgraduate Outcomes survey, over 85% of Engineering Masters students were in further education or employment three years after graduation.
