Key Summary
Introduction
Why choose this course?
Mechanical engineers are involved in the design and manufacture of products and systems that affect us all, with expertise relevant to many organisations. You'll learn general mechanical engineering, and gain highly sought-after simulation skills and an understanding of business and project management. Specialist subjects include applied mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and electronics.
The Automotive pathway focuses on the design, testing and development of vehicles and/or components, from concept to production. They also involve improving vehicles in response to customer feedback.
The MEng course has an extra year, for deeper study of areas such as computer-aided design and mathematics.
Reasons to choose Kingston University
- You'll obtain a very strong theoretical background and excellent hands-on skills while using state-of-the-art equipment.
- You'll design, test and develop vehicles from concept through to production.
- The MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The BEng (Hons) meets these requirements in part.
- The BEng (Hons) also meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
- Kingston offers the latest technology and industry-standard equipment, such as a 3D design studio, a mechanical engineering workshop and automotive testing facilities.
Accreditation
The MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
The BEng(Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.
The BEng(Hons) will also automatically meet the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.

Curriculum
What you will study
Please note that this is an indicative list of modules and is not intended as a definitive list. Those listed here may also be a mixture of core and optional modules.
MEng and BEng students take the same modules until Year 3 when the routes diverge. The MEng contains an extra year of advanced-level study.
Year 1
Year 1 provides a solid knowledge of the general technical and non-technical subjects that underpin mechanical engineering practices.
Core modules
- Engineering Design and Professional Practice
- Engineering Mechanics, Structures & Materials
- Engineering Mathematics and Computing Applications
- Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Science
Year 2
Year 2 introduces more focused studies, covering specialist subjects such as applied mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, control and computing. You will have the opportunity to extend your mathematics and project management abilities.
Core modules
- Electronic Systems, Control and Computing
- Engineering Design, Materials and Manufacture 2
- Engineering Project Management
Core modules specific to the Mechanical Engineering pathway
- Thermofluid and Mechanical Systems 2
Year 3
Year 3 comprises core engineering topics and advanced mechanical engineering modules, plus a strong focus on independent and group project work. You will gain an understanding of the business world. MEng students will continue to deepen their knowledge in areas such as computer-aided design and mathematics.
Core modules
- Individual Project
- Computational Methods in Engineering and Control
Core modules specific to the Mechanical Engineering pathway
- Thermofluid and Mechanical Systems 3
Year 4 - MEng only
The final year of the MEng course will continue to deepen and broaden my expertise. A strong emphasis is again on independent learning, as well as an industrially focused group project.
Core modules
- Integrated Design Project
Core modules specific to the Mechanical Engineering pathway
- Advanced Stress Analysis and Materials
- Computational Fluid Dynamics for Engineering Applications
Please note
Optional modules only run if there is enough demand. If we have an insufficient number of students interested in an optional module, that module will not be offered for this course.
