Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering
Manufacturing and Mechanical
Engineering
Develop a deep understanding of manufacturing processes and mechanical design principles.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, a cyber physical age, will be realised over the next 20 years. This course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be at the forefront of these exciting developments and is delivered in partnership with WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group)Link opens in a new window, renowned worldwide for its innovative links between academia and industry.
All Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the classical principles of engineering by following a general engineering programme at the start of their time with us. Thereafter, those specialising in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering will learn and develop state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies that graduates will find directly applicable in industry.
You'll master modern technologies and skills such as robotics, lifecycle analysis, computer-aided design and simulation. We'll offer you a rich curriculum and resources to achieve this, and will give you a significant understanding of management techniques and skills alongside those technical subjects to give you the confidence to innovate and lead in a globally sustainable economy.
In your third year you will be able to apply your skills to an individual project such as rapid prototyping, robot design or processing of novel materials. Those who choose the MEng degree will complete a group project in the fourth year, for example designing and building a human-powered submarine or a robot to rescue victims from a collapsed building.

If you aspire to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, a degree from Warwick is a great starting point. The majority of our degrees are accredited by licensed professional engineering institutions, such as the IET, IMechE and JBM and provide the academic component (in part or fully) needed for Chartered Engineer status.

Come and see for yourself what Warwick is all about! Our University Open DaysLink opens in a new window give you the chance to visit the School of Engineering, see the facilities, meet staff and students, tour the campus and get a real feel for life at Warwick. If you apply to study at Warwick and are subsequently made an offer, you may also be invited to an Offer Holder Open Day.
We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise.
All first year students study a general engineering programme, which is much favoured by industry. After the first year, you can specialise in Manufacturing & Mechanical Engineering, choose another specialism or continue on the general engineering pathway.
Students can also switch from the three-year BEng to the four-year MEng degree if academic requirements and regulations are met, and from the MEng to the BEng if they prefer to graduate earlier.
The course structure below is relevant to students applying for entry in 2025.

The information on this page is applicable for 2025 entry. Detailed information for each module can be found on this webpage.
We may make some changes to this degree for 2025 entry. Changes to core and optional modules go through the University's rigorous academic processes. As changes are confirmed, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer.
Intercalated degrees
Students may choose to spend a year in industry, research or study abroad between years two and three, or between year three and four for MEng. If you choose to take an intercalated year, this will be reflected in your degree title, and add a year to your degree programme.
Tuition fees
Please see the University website for details of tuition fees, financial support and the cost of living.
Scholarships
The School of Engineering is privileged to attract high fliers and seeks to recognise and promote achievement, talent, ideas, hard work and diversity. We regularly offer a number of scholarships.
After graduation you’ll typically find employment within advanced industries as diverse as aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, electronics and pharmaceuticals, as well as the more traditional light- and heavy- engineering sectors.
I chose Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering because it covers a large range of technical knowledge and considers how engineers ensure quality, reliable and efficient manufacturing processes are implemented and maintained.
I've enjoyed applying my knowledge directly to practical projects - building a flat pack go-kart was particularly fun!
