Your mechanical engineering journey starts here


Congratulations! You've earned a place at our Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you.

If you haven’t already accepted your offer, it’s time to take the next step and start shaping your future.


A world-class education with heart and ambition

Our degrees are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), meaning your qualification is recognised and respected by employers across the globe.

Excellence that matters

90% of our research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent in the latest Research Excellence Framework. This means your lectures, seminars, and assignments are built on the latest thinking and real-world insights.

You’ll learn from experts in areas like additive manufacturing, robotics, sustainable energy and advanced materials.

A place to grow, learn and belong

University Park is a stunning blend of nature, history, and culture. With acres of green parkland, beautiful historic buildings, and a picturesque boating lake, it’s a truly inspiring place to live and learn.

You’ll study in some of the UK’s most advanced engineering spaces, including an engineering applications workshop, an advanced rapid prototyping facility, CAD studios and a VR teaching lab.

 

Shape your journey, your way

You’ll build a strong foundation in mechanical and manufacturing engineering while exploring emerging technologies and industry-relevant skills.

Our modules explore the challenges and opportunities of today’s engineering world and cover topics including design thinking, systems engineering, sustainability and automation.


Learning that goes beyond the classroom

If you’ve opted for a compulsory year abroad, you could spend a year at our campuses in China or Malaysia. This experience will introduce you to new academic environments, teaching styles, and cultural viewpoints. This will broaden your intellectual horizons and develop your critical thinking.

If you've opted for a degree with a year in industry, you’ll be earning a salary while gaining hands-on experience. This is a great way to bring your course to life in an active working environment. 

Come and see for yourself


Join us for an on-campus experience day and get a real feel for life at Nottingham. You’ll meet your future lecturers, chat with current students, and take part in taster sessions that bring your course to life.


This is more than a degree. It’s your future.

We’re here to support you, challenge you, and celebrate your success, every step of the way. Let’s start this journey together.
