This MSc programme is for engineering graduates who want to specialise and upskill in this innovative and fast-growing field. You can tailor your degree programme to build on your past experience, and reflect your interests and chosen specialism.
This course aims to help students become mechanical engineering specialists with advanced skills in computational modelling, numerical and experimental techniques.
You'll choose from one of our two professional pathways - Computational Design and Engineering, or Energy and Thermofluids. Upon completing this programme, we expect that you will be able to perform design and analysis of mechanical engineering systems in your chosen area, and develop novel computational and technology products for the mechanical engineering industries.
You’ll complete a substantial research project in our excellent facilities, supervised by our research staff.
You’ll also have opportunities to gain industrial experience with our industrial partners, who provide real design case studies throughout the curriculum. Recent case studies were delivered by Bridgestone, DePuys, Baxter, Artis, Corus, BAe, DSTL and Rolls Royce.
Our Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSc has been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
The accredited MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.
Graduates from an accredited MSc programme who do not also have an appropriately accredited bachelor's degree will need to have their qualifications individually assessed through the accrediting body's Individual Case Procedure if they wish to acquire CEng status.
This programme offers two pathways: Computational Design and Engineering or Energy and Thermofluids.
In both pathways, you will undertake an extended research project across three semesters.
You can find out more about each module by searching the module codes in the module directory.

Please note that modules are subject to change.
The research project forms a major component of your degree, and you'll complete this under close supervision.
Recent Advanced Mechanical Engineering MSc research projects include:
The School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS) conducts high-quality research in a wide range of areas. This research feeds into our teaching at all levels, ensuring you share in the latest advancements.
You will be taught using a combination of lectures, seminars, laboratory practicals, and a variety of coursework.
You will be assigned an Academic Advisor who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.
BEng MSc PhD FHEA MInstR
Professor Wang’s research interests are in enhanced heat transfer, condensation, boiling, solid-liquid phase change heat transfer. He also researches molecule dynamics simulation, multi-scale simulation, advanced refrigeration, sustainable thermal energy systems and smart buildings. He develops theories for condensation and boiling heat transfer in different applications and obtains the most accurate experimental data from purpose-built test rigs. He is developing and applying advanced technologies for various sustainable thermal energy systems for net zero emissions of greenhouse gases.

Dr. Thilina Dulantha Lalitharatne is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Robotics and Mechatronics. Before joining QMUL, he was a postdoctoral research associate attached to Morph Lab, Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London (2020-2023). He was also a visiting research fellow and a collaborator in Bioinspired Robotics Lab (BIRL) at University of Cambridge (2021-2022). During 2015-2019, he has worked as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Moratuwa (UOM), Sri Lanka.
Explore our facilities using our virtual tour.
Several high-performance computing clusters owned by the university support a full spectrum of computational research.
Our well-equipped laboratories include a wide range of IC engines, heat transfer facilities, wind tunnels, an anechoic chamber, a UK CueSim flight simulator and a France-Price induction jet engine test bench.
Teaching is based at the School of Engineering and Materials Science’s postgraduate facilities, on Queen Mary’s main Mile End campus, one of the largest self-contained residential campuses in the capital. These facilities are also used for industrial contract testing and external collaborations.
Researchers within the School have access to other specialised research facilities elsewhere at Queen Mary, such as Nanoforce, NanoVision and the Blizard Institute for Cell and Molecular Science.
Our Mile End campus is 15 minutes from Central London by tube, where you will have access to many of the University of London’s other facilities, such as Senate House.
The School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS) was the first School in the UK to open a materials department and we’ve been at the forefront of international engineering and materials research ever since.
The internationally competitive work of our research groups pushes the boundaries of science: we’ve been awarded substantial grants to explore the creation of technology to capture energy from sea waves and develop artificial kidneys to avoid animal testing. Our research is even celebrated on stamps!
You will be taught by our internationally recognised staff and will have access to our outstanding facilities.
In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), the School ranked 7th overall in Engineering and 2nd for the measure of the quality of our research outputs. We are in the top 120 international institutions for engineering (THE World University Rankings, 2022). We are part of both the University of London and the Russell Group.
As a qualified Mechanical Engineer, you could find yourself working on anything from a simple switch, to more complex internal combustion engines, or an entire automobile production line.
Recent graduates of this programme are now working in roles such as:
We host two Industrial Liaison Forums per academic year, giving students the opportunity to showcase their research projects and liaise with our industry partners.
