King's College London

Our General Engineering Integrated Master’s degree aims to produce engineers of the future who want to make a real-world impact. You'll gain powerful, in-demand skills and expertise across multiple engineering fields, coupled with essential problem-solving and project management capabilities. This will prepare you for the diverse and complex challenges of tomorrow's workplace, and ensure you're highly adaptable and sought after in a rapidly evolving global job market.

Taught by award-winning experts and leading researchers, our unique curriculum offers a blend of leading engineering specialisms. You'll apply mathematical and scientific principles with hands-on, practical skills, tackling authentic design challenges and real-world projects from day one. The first two years build a solid foundation in core engineering principles, while the third and fourth years enable you to specialise with your choice of modules and apply your knowledge to real projects, giving you a significant head start in your professional journey.

Accreditation

The MEng awards a professional Master’s degree in Engineering and is a pre-requisite and the most direct route for meeting the academic requirements for future registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Our programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Period of accreditation: From 2020 to 2028.

At King's, our unique General Engineering degree equips you with a holistic mindset to be creative, aware, and responsible innovators and problem solvers. Teaching in entrepreneurial skills coupled with an awareness of the environmental, business, social, legal, and regulatory contexts, also sets our engineers apart.

The first two years contain everything we believe engineers need as a solid foundation to explore real-world problems in the third and fourth years. This includes core engineering principles across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and fluidic domains, underpinned by essential skills in systems thinking, sustainability, modelling, software, and engineering design and management.

Throughout the course, 25% of modules see you apply your learning to innovate and create new products and services for the benefit of society. You will consider the full stack of requirements, from specifications and design to manufacture and assembly, to operation and testing. You’ll benefit from our state-of-the-art Makerspace – equipped with the cutting edge technologies and tools you need to build your prototype.

In third year, you will get to choose from a diverse range of optional modules covering areas such as mechanics and systems control, computation and machine learning, telecommunication systems, energy generation and storage, vehicle dynamics and future automotive technologies. You will then undertake a substantial individual project of your choice.

The fourth year provides more flexibility and specialisation, with a choice of modules across traditional engineering domains and interdisciplinary fields including quantum, robotics, AI and intelligent systems, renewable energy, aeronautical design, and extreme mechanics.

You will then undertake a major group project inspired by an industry or research challenge, including on topics such as robotics and AI, health and wellbeing technology, environmental action and sustainable innovation, automotive and future mobility and more. At the end of your project, you’ll showcase your project amongst fellow students and your academic teachers, sharpening your communication and presentation skills. For this project, you’ll get to use our dedicated Engineering Project Space fitted with advanced technologies including industrial robots, 3D printers, composites manufacturing facilities, VR headsets, motion capture cameras and material testing machines.

The course is taught at King’s Strand and Waterloo Campuses, putting you in the heart of London with access to all its academic resources and within easy reach of the social and entertainment attractions of one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities. The Department of Engineering is based on the Strand Campus.
