Course overview
Mechanical engineers play a key role in solving key global challenges, from developing sustainable energy sources to improving the lifespan of battery technology.
This course will suit you if you want to develop your mathematical, physics and computational skills to tackle tomorrow's engineering issues.
Through lectures, labs and tutorials, you'll build a solid understanding of the principles of solid mechanics, thermofluids and mechatronics. You'll also learn how to use technical drawings and specialist software to produce your own blueprints.
Hands-on workshop sessions will develop your manufacturing skills, while you'll also hone your design expertise on a group project.
You can broaden your learning further by taking modules from other engineering disciplines and applying mechanical engineering principles to their key challenges.
At the end of the course, you'll complete a research project in an area of your interest.
Throughout your studies, you'll develop the skills needed to undertake more advanced research, or pursue career opportunities in industries including the automotive and commercial sectors.

You’ll spend this year on a paid industrial placement.
This year will enable you to put the skills you have learned into practice, and may contribute to the professional development requirement of gaining Chartered Engineer status.
You will be expected to help the Department organise your placement, however, you will have the support of the Year in Industry Coordinator.
Securing a placement is competitive, so you may need to apply to multiple employers and take part in recruitment activities such as interviews.
Students have previously completed placements with:
Red Bull Technology Limited
- Red Bull Technology Limited
- McLaren
- Mercedes
The employer can often be in a location of your choice – including outside the UK – as long as you are successful in obtaining a position there and the placement is approved by the Department.

Professional accreditation
The following MEngdegrees are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering with a Year in Industry
- Mechanical Engineeringwith Nuclear Engineering
- Mechanical Engineeringwith Nuclear Engineering and a Year in Industry
Please note that the following year-abroad degrees are not accredited:
- Mechanical Engineering with a Year Abroad
- Mechanical Engineering with a Year in Industry and Abroad
With a professionally accredited degree, you’ll be able to demonstrate to employers that you have achieved an industry-recognised standard of competency. Professional accreditation also provides international recognition of your qualifications, which you can use to launch a career abroad.
With an accredited and integrated Master’s degree, you’ll fully meet the educational requirements for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
Becoming a Chartered Engineer can further enhance your career prospects and earning potential. It demonstrates your competencies and commitment to lifelong learning – providing you with recognition in your field and greater influence and opportunities.
Our accreditation agreement with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers was renewed in 2023-24.
Associateship
In addition to your degree, you’ll receive the Associateship of the City and Guilds of London Institute (ACGI) upon completion of this course. This associateship is awarded by one of our historic constituent Colleges.
