Mechanical Engineering

Design innovative mechanical systems through engineering science, materials, dynamics and design, developing the analytical and practical skills to solve real‑world challenges. The University of Leeds has risen nine places to 77th in the latest rankings Engineer ideas into solutions to overcome society’s biggest challenges. From sports equipment to operating theatres, transport infrastructure, and wind turbines, mechanical engineers play a crucial part in shaping the way we live.

But to meet the demands and challenges of the modern world and successfully design and manufacture what we need efficiently and sustainably requires a specific set of skills. As the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery, mechanical engineers must be able to combine engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science.
