On this MSc course, you can choose specialist pathways in Computational design & engineering or Energy & thermofluids.
You’ll develop innovative computational and technological products for industry and perform a design analysis of mechanical engineering systems.
We’ll build on your existing expertise by giving you specialised skills in energy storage engineering and robotics. You'll have the option to explore modules in computational engineering, renewable energy, numerical optimisation, heat transfer and fluid mechanics, materials selection, gas turbines, solar energy, combustion, nanocomposites and manufacturing process.
You’ll also complete a substantial research project in our excellent facilities, supervised by our research staff. These could feature a wide range of internal combustion engines, heat transfer facilities, wind tunnels, a flight simulator, an induction jet engine test bench, and materials synthesis and characterisation labs. If your interests lie in nanotechnology, you can call on the facilities and expertise provided by Nanoforce, a company directly associated with the School.
You’ll have the opportunity to gain industrial experience too, as we try to ensure that you take part in projects with our industrial partners. For example, two recent students worked on a project in collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover.
Our Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSchas been accredited by IMechE, on behalf of the Engineering Council and a suffix "EngC Pathway" will be added to the degree title when a student satisfies the accreditation requirements.
Progression and award requirements for an accredited MSc are stricter than these requirements for a standard QMUL degree. If a student does not satisfy the accreditation requirements, but does satisfy the requirements for a standard QMUL degree, the "EngC Pathway" suffix will not be added.
Structure
This programme offers two recommended pathways: Computational design & engineering or Energy & thermofluids.
In both pathways you will undertake an extended research project across 3 semesters.
