Course summary
Our BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering combines mathematics, science, technology, and management. Develop a robust understanding of general engineering principles and valuable transferable skills. Learn about industry-standard techniques. You will study computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA). You will focus on specifying, designing, and analysing mechanical engineering systems. Create intricate mechanical systems, refining problem-solving skills tailored to meet industrial demands. Deepen your knowledge in core mechanical engineering disciplines. These include design analysis, dynamic systems, computational fluid dynamics, advanced materials, control systems, and sustainable energy technologies. Access cutting-edge equipment in well-equipped modern laboratories. Study material testing, fluid mechanics, dynamics, hydraulics, structures, CNC machining, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, electronics, electrical machines and power, and control systems. Use simulation and modelling application software. Make use of our strong industry connections to solve real-world challenges. Align your final year project with pioneering research conducted by our active mechanical engineering academics.

For detailed information on entry requirements for our courses, please see the individual course pages. We consider a range of UK and worldwide qualifications at the appropriate level and also take relevant work experience into account when considering an application. Many courses have a Foundation Year option for those students whose qualifications do not meet the BA or BSc entry requirements. Applicants should have, or be working towards, grade C in GCSE English and Mathematics (or equivalent Level 2 qualification such as Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Mathematics or Key Skills Level 2 in Application of Number and Communication) Entry requirements are intended only as a guide for applicants. They are not a guarantee of an offer, nor of the conditions that may apply. When making a decision on your academic suitability, we will make an assessment of you as an individual and will use information other than qualifications; which may include predicted grades, performance at Level 2, relevant work experience, previous study at degree level, personal statement, references and any portfolio, written test or interview, to make our decision. If you have any questions, please contact a member of our Applicant Relations Team from Monday to Friday (9am–5pm) on +44 (0) 20 8223 3333 or https://uel.ac.uk/about/contact-us
