Mechanical Engineering with Business Finance MEng

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

University College London

Program Overview

The University College London (UCL) offers a 4-year MEng in Mechanical Engineering with Business Finance through its Department of Mechanical Engineering. This integrated program is designed to equip students with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles while providing a robust understanding of business and financial management. Graduates of this program are prepared for leadership roles in engineering, finance, and technology sectors, combining technical expertise with strategic business acumen.

Year 1: Students build a strong base in mathematics, physics, and engineering fundamentals, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials science. They are also introduced to business principles and finance, laying the groundwork for integrating engineering solutions with financial decision-making.

Year 2: The focus shifts to core mechanical engineering subjects, such as fluid dynamics, dynamics and control, design, and manufacturing processes. Students begin to develop skills in financial analysis and business management, allowing them to evaluate the economic impact of engineering projects.

Year 3: Students engage in more advanced engineering modules including energy systems, robotics, and optimization techniques, alongside finance-focused modules such as corporate finance, investment analysis, and project management. This year also emphasizes teamwork through group design projects, integrating both engineering and financial insights.

Year 4: The final year culminates in an individual capstone project, where students apply their technical knowledge and financial understanding to a real-world engineering problem. Optional modules allow further specialization in areas such as sustainable energy systems, advanced manufacturing, or financial modelling for engineering projects.
