BEng Mechanical Engineering

London South Bank University

Course overview

The BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering course at London South Bank University provides students with thorough technical training and professional accreditation, teaching them the skills they need to work as mechanical engineers. The programme combines classic mechanical engineering topics with the latest developments to help graduates design, manufacture, and test mechanical systems and products that are efficient and sustainable.

At London South Bank University, students learn through hands-on experience, using virtual engineering labs and state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, and in their final year, they work on an individual "design-make-test" project that simulates real-world engineering tasks, while studying key subjects like mathematics, thermofluids, dynamics, design, solid mechanics, electrical engineering, materials, and modelling.
