Mechanical and Design Engineering

Mechanical and Design Engineering provides scientific, mathematical and technical skills for the design, development and optimal operation of advanced machines and mechanical engineering systems. It is ideal if you want to develop sustainable and innovative solutions to real-world challenges in transport, energy manufacturing and more.

Over four years, students develop professional engineering skills, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to future mechanical engineering systems.

Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate students’ expertise to future employers. Whilst a fourth year, at master’s level, it helps to transition from study to professional practice.

• Benefit from strong links to industry and exceptional industry involvement in the degree programme. Profit from the City St George's vision of sustainable engineering, a fundamental aspect in future Mechanical and Design Engineering.

• Study in world leading test facilities, including our thermo-fluid laboratories, engine test beds and low-turbulence wind-tunnel, and high-speed tunnel belonging to the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility initiative.

• Work with modern state-of-the art experimental equipment and high-performance computational fluid solvers, both being developed at City St George's and supported by world-experts in those fields.

• Enjoy easy access to our central London location and benefit from the links to our international aviation program, with City St George's being the hub for key national and international industries.

• Boost employability within an optional placement year, or placement split over two summer periods, which offers first-hand experience in professional industry.

We have every expectation that these degrees will receive full accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and the Royal Aeronautical Society, providing a path for you to gain Chartered Engineering status.

Assessment is by coursework and examinations. Group learning and communication skills are addressed through design studies and presentations. Practical and technical skills are assessed through laboratory work, data analysis and project reports.

Grades obtained in each year count towards the final degree classification, with increasing weight given to the later years.
