Why should you choose a UCL mechanical, civil or electrical engineering programme?

  • University of the Year 2024. Awarded by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, we’re also ranked 9th globally in the latest QS World University Rankings (2024). 
  • Learn from pioneers.  UCL delivers firsts – including the first departments of mechanical engineering, biochemical engineering, and security and crime science in the country. We were also the first university in the world to introduce engineering laboratories. 
  • Industry partnerships and connections. UCL Engineering is proud to work in partnership with world leaders across a wide range of industries. Many of our programmes involve working alongside practitioners and experts from our industry partners. 
  • Real world research impact. Whether we’re setting the world record for the fastest data transmission rate, or helping scale up the manufacturing of the COVID-19 vaccine, the impact of our research continues to be felt all over the planet. 
  • Study in one of the world’s greatest capital cities. London is ranked as the world’s most student-friendly location, according to QS Best Cities Ranking 2025. We've got engineering campuses in historic Bloomsbury, and a new UCL East campus in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with world-class laboratory and workshop facilities. 
  • Dedicated careers support. The UCL Careers Guidance team is there to support you throughout your degree and for three years afterwards, maximising your chances of finding a career or academic position suited to your postgraduate qualifications. 

Help us engineer a better world, with postgraduate study and doctoral research at UCL Engineering

Since the close of the Industrial Revolution, the work of the UCL Faculty of Engineering has helped build the world we live in. 

The discovery of noble gases. The invention of the thermionic valve by our first electrical engineering professor and the founder of modern electronics, Sir Ambrose Fleming. The Nobel Prize-winning development of fiber optic technology, or the first nodes of the prototype that became the internet. 

Now it’s your turn to join staff and students from over 120 different countries, and help us create the tools to solve the most profound challenges facing our communities, our economies, and our planet. 

Our degrees distil 190 years of mechanical, civil, electronic and design engineering progress, allowing you to achieve comprehensive expertise in your chosen field.  

Then we show you how to apply your engineering skills to today’s problems, layering on elements from other disciplines like social justice, climate science and human rights to create innovative responses to global challenges. 

Our range of postgraduate courses can take you anywhere – from the navigation of space shuttles and satellites, to the excavation of underground networks and seismic design.  

You can learn to engineer vital healthcare devices at the nanoscale, or design major civil engineering infrastructure projects that delicately balance vast forces and protect vital natural resources.
