Students at UCL's Department of Mechanical Engineering enjoy individual and group research and design projects with academics who are world-leaders in their fields.
If you join UCL to study mechanical engineering, you will be part of a vibrant learning community. Beyond the lectures, assessments and projects, the department offers a range of social and careers events and opportunities, department student societies, extracurricular teams (UCL Racing) and support when you need it.
From fixing bikes to working with Sir Lewis Hamilton (and being honoured by King Charles III), George Imafidon MBE (MEng Mechanical Engineering with Programming 2020) is an engineer on a mission.
Continuing an impressive string of successes, UCL Mechanical Engineering students won another IMechE Design Challenge National Final, winning the main challenge and the Poster Competition, Design Review and Design Excellence categories.
Mechanical Engineering covers a huge range of applications - from bamboo bicycles to nano-scale flows to ultra-efficient vehicles. Here's a showcase of some of our 4th Year Student Projects.
Have a peek inside MechSpace, an impressive student facility dedicated to MechEng students, to meet, design and build prototypes and hone their practical engineering skills. MechSpace is also home to UCL Racing (UCLR) a group of student racing teams which including the Shell Eco Marathon, Rocket, Formula Student, Mars Rover and the Unmanned Aerial Systems Challenge teams.
