Why Advanced Engineering at LSBU? trophy Shape your own Engineering pathway, by specialising deeply or combining modules across industries to build a degree aligned to your career goals. level-up Learn through real Engineering challenges, and develop advanced skills in modelling, simulation and system design using industry-relevant tools and applied coursework. fa fa-users Studying in Central London, surrounded by global infrastructure, energy and technology, will enhance your employment prospects. Master complex Engineering. Deliver real-world impact This MSc Engineering portfolio offers advanced, research-informed study across mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical and building services engineering.

Designed for ambitious engineers seeking specialist depth or multidisciplinary breadth, the programme develops high-level analytical capability, systems thinking and professional engineering judgement aligned with contemporary industry practice. You will engage with rigorous analytical modelling, computational simulation and performance-based design across complex engineering systems. Modules emphasise optimisation, sustainability, resilience and evidence-based decision-making, supported by industry-standard tools and structured evaluation methods.

Assessment is coursework-led, focusing on applied problem-solving, technical reporting and professional communication. A defining feature of the programme is the 60-credit MSc Project. Conducted across both semesters, this substantial independent investigation enables you to integrate knowledge from across your pathway to address a complex engineering challenge.

Whether through advanced modelling, technical development, design optimisation or applied research, the project demonstrates intellectual independence, technical depth and readiness for senior professional responsibility. You will study at London South Bank University in the heart of London - one of the world’s leading centres for infrastructure, energy, advanced manufacturing and built environment innovation. This location provides proximity to major engineering consultancies, transport networks, sustainable development initiatives and industrial partners, reinforcing the real-world relevance of your studies.

Graduates are prepared for progression into advanced engineering roles across infrastructure, energy systems, process industries, smart technologies and sustainable design. The combination of technical mastery, computational competence and strategic systems understanding positions you for leadership in complex engineering environments, as well as progression to doctoral research.
