Mechanical Engineering Kingston University London

Our BEng (Hons) course partly meets, and the MEng fully meets, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). In addition, by joining our Department of Mechanical Engineering, you could begin your Monitored Professional Development Scheme (MPDS) journey concurrently with your studies. MPDS is a pathway for students to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) or Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. 

On this course, you will be able to take full advantage of the wide range of facilities available for practical work at our Roehampton Vale campus. 

Our applied approach to teaching is supported by our dedicated laboratories. These include state-of-the-art facilities for rapid prototyping and manufacturing, a fully equipped materials laboratory, and a modern electronics and robotics lab. 

Other technology and industry-standard equipment you will have access to includes: 

• 3D design studio and workshop
• Mechanical engineering workshop
• 3D printers
• CNC 4 axis machine
• Rolling roads
• Automotive testing facilities
• A Lotus Exige
• Cars and motorcycles built by engineering students
• Electronics and robotics labs
