This course emphasise the development of skills needed by the twenty-first century graduate engineer: imagination; creativity; intellectual agility; the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams All of our Mechanical Engineering students cover the same core study programme for the first two years, which includes computing, mechanics, materials and mathematics. It focuses on the fundamental knowledge that is required by all mechanical engineers, and gives you a thorough understanding of a wide range of engineering disciplines. With this strong foundation you go on to largely elective study in the third year. You can focus on the areas you are most interested in and tap into cutting-edge research activities being undertaken by internationally recognised experts within the Department. Your study reaches Master's level in your final year, with a wide selection of advanced optional modules available. A major individual project gives you the chance to put your project management skills to the test. Our close industry links ensure that many graduates leave Imperial with jobs already lined up. Career opportunities include research and development, design, production and plant management. Several of our graduates work in Formula One or related industries, and the opportunity to specialise in nuclear engineering prepares students for employment in an industry now poised for expansion.
