Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Mechanical Engineering] From Queen Mary, University of London

Whether youÕre applying the principles to a power station, a car engine or a household object, the emphasis of mechanical engineering is on energy and design. Because itÕs so broad, it makes anÊideal undergraduate degree Ð an opportunity to learn about the full range of exciting engineering pathways without specialising too early.

The Queen Mary programme has a particular emphasis on design, materials and computational engineering. YouÕll start with specialist modules from the first year, while also building a broader foundation of core engineering knowledge. In the third year youÕll choose from topics such as environmental engineering, fluid mechanics, automotive engines and aircraft propulsion.

If you choose the MEng option, youÕll take part in a group design project in the final year. Recent projects have included assessing BritainÕs Olympic bobsleigh and testing a combustor from a Rolls-Royce micro-gas turbine.
