About this programme

A higher‑education programme studied as your main commitment, typically requiring a full weekly timetable and leading to qualifications such as foundation degrees, HNDs, or bachelor’s-level awards. Not sure what this course level means? Use our course level explainer to help guide you through the different levels. Mechanical engineers are essential to the workings of our modern world, combining imagination and technology to offer innovative solutions. Mechanical engineers design, build and test new products, processes and systems. On this exciting new course, you’ll develop holistic engineering knowledge and problem-solving abilities as you work towards a globally-recognised qualification, sought after in a wide range of sectors. Mathematical and scientific principles underpin mechanical engineering, used to produce engineering designs and manage engineering projects. You will expand your problem-solving abilities, working as part of a team and developing key analytical skills. You’ll study advanced design analysis and manufacturing techniques, enabling you to turn engineering design solutions into innovative, efficient, durable and sustainable products and systems. Advanced mathematical and engineering modelling techniques are used for optimising mechanical and thermodynamic systems such as power transmission mechanisms and heat exchangers. Nottingham College is proud to have been awarded the Teaching Excellence Framework Bronze Award for high quality student experience and outcomes.
