Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering with Industrial Placement University of East London - Docklands Campus, UK

Mechanical engineering is surely one of the most demanded and popular engineering disciplines. It is predicted that, in the United Kingdom alone, there will be demand for 100,000 new STEM (Science, Technology and Engineering) professionals per year, thus the Royal Academy of Engineering sent out a message that 'Demand for graduate engineers exceeds supply'.

As it is a requirement to have an MEng or MSc engineering qualification to achieve a professional affiliation like Chartered Engineer status, an MSc programme would address your needs to attain such status and widen and deepen your skillset for solving 21st century technical challenges.

With the recent significant investment in engineering programmes and laboratory facilities, this programme is customised for you to meet the increasing demand for general engineering professionals with advanced technical skills in the mechanical and wider engineering sector.

The programme is designed to be a broad and challenging taught postgraduate course, which would be ideal for those who seek a postgraduate qualification to enhance their knowledge, skills, and therefore their employability. The programme would furnish you with the skill sets that are required by industries.

The interactive programme will provide you with fundamental and advanced engineering knowledge and hands-on skills that a professional engineer needs for solving technical complex issues with a multi-disciplinary innovative and strategic approach.

The programme is aimed at both the home and overseas market and, in particular, students working in the general engineering and technical/management sector or students who would wish to work in these sectors.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Mechanical engineering, arguably termed as the mother of all engineering disciplines, is one of the most popular students' destinations here in the UK and beyond. The discipline applies engineering, physics, engineering mathematics, and materials science principles to design, operate, analyse, manufacture, and maintain industrial systems consistency and reliably.

The MSc course is designed to meet the increasing demand for general engineering professionals with advanced technical skills in mechanical engineering.

The course will provide fundamental and advanced engineering knowledge and hands-on skill set that a 21st century engineer needs for solving technical complex issues with a multi-disciplinary, innovative and strategic approach.

This course is ideal for learners from home and overseas and, in particular, professionals working in the general engineering and technical/management sector or those who would wish to work in these sectors.

Offering a placement year as well, the programme is designed using the Engineering Council's attributes of Chartered Engineer. This is ensuring the core skills required for a 21st century competent engineer, as elaborated by the Engineering Council, are well-integrated into the programme's curriculum.
