Programme Category

Engineering Programme

Course Description

Technically, Mechanical Engineering is the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacturing to the marketplace for any object. Mechanical engineers analyse their work using the principles of motion, energy, and force ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost.

Our experienced professionals and academics will support you throughout your degree and our programme allows you to get the most out of your lectures and seminars.
