BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering - Kingston University (UK)

About this course

Mechanical engineers design and develop the machines, systems, and technologies that keep industries moving — from advanced manufacturing and automation to sustainable energy and transport. This course provides a strong foundation in core mechanical engineering principles including statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and design. Students also engage with electrical and electronic systems, manufacturing technologies, and control engineering to develop well-rounded technical expertise. The programme builds critical management, communication, and problem-solving skills, preparing graduates for a wide range of career paths in the engineering and industrial sectors. In the final year, students complete an industry-focused research project applying theory to solve real-world engineering challenges with an emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and safety. Flexible options include an HND exit after Year 2 and the possibility of transferring to a UK partner university.
