Mechanical Engineering with Study Abroad

This course is for those students who wish to study abroad outside Continental Europe. The third year of study is spent at an institution with which the University of Bristol has a bilateral student exchange agreement. Language studies are not mandatory as the native language of the institution is English.

This degree has been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
