Kingston University London - Mechanical Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)

Kingston University London

Mechanical Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)

Mechanical engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of products and systems that affect us all, with expertise relevant to many organizations. You'll learn general mechanical engineering, and gain highly sought-after simulation skills and an understanding of business and project management. Specialist subjects include applied mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and electronics.

The Automotive pathway focuses on the design, testing, and development of vehicles and/or components, from concept to production. They also involve improving vehicles in response to customer feedback.

The MEng course has an extra year, for deeper study of areas such as computer-aided design and mathematics.

Reasons to choose Kingston University

  • You'll obtain a very strong theoretical background and excellent hands-on skills while using state-of-the-art equipment.
  • You'll design, test, and develop vehicles from concept through to production.
  • The MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The BEng (Hons) meets these requirements in part.
  • The BEng (Hons) also meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
  • Kingston offers the latest technology and industry-standard equipment, such as a 3D design studio, a mechanical engineering workshop, and automotive testing facilities.

Entry Requirements

  • Powertrain engineer.
  • Instrumentation engineer.

Course Details

MEng and BEng students take the same modules until Year 3 when the routes diverge. The MEng contains an extra year of advanced-level study.

The First Year provides a solid knowledge of the general technical and non-technical subjects that underpin mechanical engineering practices.

The final year of the MEng course will continue to deepen and broaden my expertise. A strong emphasis is again on independent learning, as well as an industrially focused group project.
