Description

The programme is largely participatory and includes compulsory theoretical courses as well as laboratory courses, conducted at Metropolitan College’s fully equipped laboratory installations. It is an undergraduate programme that provides standard and superior knowledge and educates students to successfully put this knowledge into practice. The curriculum focuses on the implementation of theoretical aspects with a view to designing fully functional systems. This programme of studies was designed by the University of East London under the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). BEng (Hons) / MEng Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing is offered in Greece exclusively by Metropolitan College.
During your studies you will have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge in several key topics for which a range of assessment methods encourages a deeper understanding of engineering and allows you to develop your skills. This includes written examinations, coursework and laboratory-based project works.
