MEng Mechanical Engineering

The MEng Mechanical Engineering programme at London South Bank University focuses on the technological aspects of engineering and the development of new techniques and tools that will solve real-world problems. It equips students with the skills to succeed in sectors such as energy, transport, aviation, robotics, pharmaceuticals and the motor or marine industries. After completing the programme, graduates achieve the status of Chartered Engineer (CEng).

This programme covers learning modules including thermofluids and dynamics, design and practice, solid mechanics, electrical engineering, and materials modelling. The curriculum deepens students’ technical knowledge and helps them to excel in different sectors, such as energy, transport and aviation.

Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical work, and group and individual projects. The assessment is through coursework and exams, with projects and laboratory work counting toward the award of a degree. Students will adapt theoretical principles to solve real-world engineering problems.
