The School of Mechanical, Aerospace & Civil Engineering [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/] at the University of Manchester [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Manchester] [http://www.manchester.ac.uk/] is one of the leading engineering schools in the world. It was formed in 2004 when three departments from the Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST were united. Each of the three former departments had a long history of excellence in engineering starting in the 1890's with Osborne Reynolds’s [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/thermal/research/index.html] study of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics Now the School has over 80 academics [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/staff/academic/] with a tradition of excellence in research [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/] , teaching [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/teaching/index.html] and links with industry [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/business/] .

The School has built its reputation for developing tomorrow's industry leaders through its vibrant international undergraduate [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/] and postgraduate [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/] community and global business links. The School has over 1000 undergraduates, over 400 taught postgraduate students and over 230 postgraduate research students who produce theses worthy of recognition by international scholars. The School offers a wide variety of undergraduate courses [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/all/index.html] that reflect the diversity of modern aerospace [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/all/aerospace/index.html] , mechanical [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/all/mechanical/index.html] and civil engineering [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/all/civil/index.html] . Each course builds up different skill-sets for application in future study and employment. There is also the opportunity to enhance these degree courses with optional subjects in management [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/management/index.html] , languages [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/abroad/index.html] and industrial studies [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/industrial/index.html] to create degrees that suit your particular career or personal preferences.

The School has a number of postgraduate taught MSc courses [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/index.html] , which are focused on the specialised needs of industry as well as courses aimed at preparation for research at doctoral level PhD [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/choosing/by_degree/phd/index.html] . The range of research topics [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/projects/by_research_groups/index.html] studied by our students cover all areas of engineering, and includes theoretical and computational research, experimental studies, systems, design and management. Staff expertise covers a wide range of topics, for example: aerospace [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/aerospace/index.html] , manufacturing and laser processing [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/manufacturing/index.html] , extreme loading and design [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/design/index.html] , structural engineering, fire engineering [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/sigs/fire/index.html] , process industries, nano-engineering, energy, environment and climate change [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/energy/index.html] , management of projects [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/sigs/management/] and nuclear graphite technology [http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/research/sigs/nucleargraphite/] .

With graduates in almost every country in the world the School has an excellent tradition in educating engineers achieving excellence world-wide. The School offers a range of innovative, industrially relevant degree courses that are supported by extensive computational and experimental facilities. With many of 2008's soon-to-be graduates already having secured jobs, the School, that has recently completed a £6m building upgrade, is an excellent place for students.

As one of the largest Schools incorporating Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering in Europe, it offers a challenging and diverse learning environment with a wide range of research interests that allows cross-disciplinary work to flourish.
