About this course
Our five-year MEng Mechanical Engineering degree course begins with two years of intensive core study, giving you a thorough understanding of a wide range of engineering disciplines. The third year is spent on an industrial placement, ensuring you can put your extensive subject knowledge into practice and increasing your employability. Having built a strong foundation in engineering, your fourth year of study will be largely made up of optional modules. This allows you to develop a specialism, focus on...
Home and EU students 2016 entry: £9,000 per year Year Abroad: Replacement or additional year: £1,350 A replacement year is one where that year is spent studying abroad instead of at the College. It leads to an award of the same level and in the same time-frame as if you had spent the year studying at the College An additional year is one where that year is spent studying abroad...

Course programme
Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.
All students spend the first two years following the same core programme of studies, which provides the fundamental knowledge and intellectual and practical skills that are required by all mechanical engineers.
Your third year is spent on industrial placement, the fourth completing assessed work at Imperial, and the fifth abroad.
You will be expected to achieve at least 40% in each academic year in order to pass, as well as other requirements (see Teaching and Assessment).

Your third year is spent completing an industrial placement in a relevant industry.
Year 4In this year you study a combination of core and optional modules.
Core modulesThe below modules are assessed by examination:
- Machine System Dynamics
- Thermodynamics and Energy
These modules are assessed by coursework:
- Design, Make and Test Project
- Engineering Ethics
- Literature Research Project
You can begin to specialise in a direction that matches your developing interests and career plans by choosing five optional modules in a particular area or, alternatively, over the whole range of mechanical engineering.
Group 1- Computational Continuum Mechanics
- Embedded C for Microcontrollers
- Finite Element Analysis and Applications
- Fluid Mechanics 3
- Fundamentals of Fracture Mechanics
- Introduction to Nuclear Energy
- Mathematics 3
- Statistics
- Stress Analysis 3
- Structure, Properties and Applications of Polymers
- System Design and Optimisation
- Tribology
- Business for Professional Engineers and Scientists
- Design-led Innovation and New Venture Creation
- Manufacturing Technology and Management
- Technology, Business and the Market
Only three Design and Management modules can be counted toward your final degree as a whole.
You can choose one module from Imperial Horizons, allowing you to take non-technical business or humanities subjects such as:
- languages
- history
- philosophy
- management studies
You spend this year studying at a leading university in Australia, Singapore or the USA, or via the Erasmus scheme in France, Germany, Switzerland or the Netherlands.
While abroad, you will undertake a combination of classes and a project – in France this may be undertaken in industry. The grades you achieve will count directly towards your Imperial degree.
In France, Germany and Switzerland, teaching is in the host language so an acceptable proficiency is required – we will provide access to the learning resources you need.
Limited places means competition for some placements is strong so only students who are on track for a 2:1 degree or higher by the time of selection in year three will be eligible.
