Mechanical Engineering MSc

University College London's Mechanical Engineering MSc delivers a robust and advanced level of learning to enhance your understanding of basic mechanical engineering principles in addition to exposure to cutting-edge technologies and applications. The program is geared towards equipping students with the ability and know-how needed to create innovative solutions for difficult engineering challenges in fields like aerospace, automotive, energy, and robotics. Throughout the course, you will be introduced to both practical and theoretical problem-solving, preparing you to be a very competent engineer to join the professional world or go for further research.

Curriculum Structure:
The MSc curriculum is particularly structured to maintain a balance between foundation knowledge and creative approaches. It includes:

• Core Mechanical Engineering Modules: These modules focus on subjects like fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, and dynamics to lay down a strong technical foundation.

• Specialist Electives: You are presented with specialized topics such as green energy systems, robotics, computational mechanics, and materials engineering to tailor your studies to suit your needs and professional goals.

• Laboratory Work and Practical Sessions: Laboratory work is a major component of the course with access to state-of-the-art labs where you apply theory to address real-life problems, including design, production, and testing workshops.

• Individual or Group Research Project: The capstone element of this can be satisfied by students through undertaking a detailed investigation into a specific area of mechanical engineering, encouraging independent thinking and innovation.

Accreditation:
The course is accredited by top professional engineering bodies, validating that it is taught to high academic and industry standards. This accreditation helps in eligibility for chartered engineer status, which is a valuable advantage for career progression in the UK and overseas.
