Mechanical Engineering
(jointly offered with Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT))

The Mechanical Engineering programme aims to train engineers capable of exploiting current and future technology to produce competitive and innovative products within a commercially demanding environment. A key feature is the strong emphasis on acquiring digital skillsets in IIoT, data analytics and digital designs through project-based multi-disciplinary learning and industrial immersion. The programme provides a thorough and firm grounding in the fundamentals underpinning mechanical engineering, while allowing for students to specialise in either mechanical design or mechatronics.

Introducing the School of Engineering

  • The University established a Regius Chair of Civil Engineering and Mechanics in 1840, making Glasgow the oldest university school of engineering in the UK. We have been delivering a world-class engineering education for more than 160 years, building and sustaining an excellent international reputation.
  • Each year our 2,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students are taught by staff renowned for their leading-edge research.
  • In the UK’s 2014 independent research exercise (REF), we were placed within the top 5 in the UK for our “internationally excellent” and “world-leading” research.
  • We have access to excellent facilities and collaborate with other leading universities and research institutes worldwide on a range of projects that address the technological needs of society.
  • The education we provide is informed and supported by our links with industry and industrially relevant research. In Singapore, the UofG-SIT programmes seek to provide students with various dimensions of exposure to local industry in order to enhance their employability upon graduation.
  • All of our existing MEng and BEng degrees are accredited by their respective professional bodies.
