Design Engineering (MEng)

All first and second year modules are compulsory and we focus particularly on foundational engineering, computing, mathematics and human factors to give you a solid scientific and design basis on which to build. These cover such subjects as mechanics, electronics for product and system design, computing, and mechatronics and robotics.

The third and fourth years include a greater emphasis on advanced modules in design and engineering, and enterprise and entrepreneurship skills. You will have a choice of optional modules, in areas such as design rationale, human factors, and advanced engineering tools, allowing you to specialise in areas of interest. It may also be possible to take optional modules from other engineering degrees at Imperial.

All students will undertake a six-month industrial placement from April in their third year. The placement will typically be on-site with an industrial partner and supervised jointly by the partner and Imperial. The placement calendar means that there is not the traditional extended holiday period between the third and fourth year. To find out more, please visit our industry placements page.

Our curriculum is meticulously designed to provide students with a holistic learning experience, covering a wide array of engineering disciplines. For a detailed breakdown of all modules offered on our programme, including descriptions and prerequisites, please visit our dedicated modules page.
