BEng Hons Mechanical Engineering (Extended)

at University of Greenwich

• The first year provides a foundation covering topics like mathematics, physics, computing, engineering science, and design principles.
•  In years two and three, students study core mechanical engineering modules such as thermodynamics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, control systems, and manufacturing technology. 
• Business management concepts relevant to engineering are also included. 
• Later years allow specialisation through optional modules in areas like automotive, aeronautics, or renewable energy systems. 
• A major individual project consolidating the learning is undertaken in the final year.

• Applicants must have a minimum of two subjects for A-Level, with Mathematics at Grade E and/or Physics at Grade E being compulsory. 
• However, candidates with only AS/Core Mathematics will be considered if Physics is also included. For T Level qualifications, a Pass grade (equivalent to a D or E on Core) is required in either Design & Development for Engineering & Manufacturing or Engineering, Manufacturing, Process & Control. 
• Those holding a BTEC National Extended Diploma in Engineering must have completed at least one Mathematics unit. 
• For applicants with both A-Level and BTEC National qualifications, possession of a Diploma or Extended Certificate in an Engineering subject is necessary, along with A-Level Mathematics at Grade E (or AS/Core Mathematics at Grade B) if Mathematics units for the BTEC National are not covered. 
• Alternatively, candidates with a Diploma or Extended Certificate in Applied Science must have A-level mathematics at Grade E (or AS/Core Mathematics at Grade B). International Baccalaureate applicants must achieve a total of 24 Points overall, with HL Mathematics and HL Physics both at a score of 3.
• Those undertaking the IELTS Academic test should work towards achieving an overall score of 6.0, ensuring that their scores in each section do not fall below 5.5.
