This BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree at Robert Gordon University will enable you to be involved in the design, construction and operation of machines, structures and industrial plant for a wide range of industries, across the world. You'll constantly strive to produce safer, durable, cheaper, useful and more efficient machines and systems to benefit society and change tomorrow.
You’ll work on a variety of items from small components to extremely large plant, machinery or vehicles. You’ll apply method and logic to solve real-life problems in the face of conflicting requirements.
The first two years are common across our Mechanical Engineering courses. At the end of Year 2, you can make an informed decision about which route you wish to take.
