BEng in Advanced Engineering Systems
Course Overview
The BEng in Advanced Engineering Systems is a UK Level 6 honours degree honours degree that runs three years full-time, with part-time and accelerated routes available across on-campus, online and distance-learning routes. The programme is designed for engineers developing integrated design and analysis capability across mechanical, electrical and control systems for complex products, and cohorts progress together with weekly tutor visibility, structured critique and formative feedback across every module. Delivery is aligned to UK professional-body standards including IMechE, IET, Engineering Council (UK), and the syllabus draws on current practice inside the mechanical and electrical engineering community across London and the wider UK.
By the end of the BEng in Advanced Engineering Systems you will be able to design an integrated engineering system; run finite element and multi-body simulations; produce a systems engineering V-model brief; apply model-based engineering; prepare for chartership. Assessment blends coursework, applied artefacts and a closing project, capstone or dissertation depending on the level, and marks are moderated to UK Level 6 honours degree standards. Every module includes reflective practice and structured written communication, so graduates leave the programme with a portfolio of assessed work that stands up to external professional review.
Key Features
- Honours degree taught in small tutor-visible cohorts at the LSCE central London campus, online with provisioned lab access, or by distance learning.
- Syllabus mapped to IMechE and IET technical guidance for the mechanical and electrical engineering discipline, and refreshed each intake against sector expectations.
- Weekly clinics, code, design and critique reviews run by a named programme tutor with cohort-wide feedback and one-to-one time.
- Careers-service introductions to IMechE headquarters at One Birdcage Walk, IET Savoy Place events and the M4 corridor manufacturing supply chain during the taught stage, with warm handovers into placement or graduate roles.
- Three parallel study modes so applicants can complete the BEng in Advanced Engineering Systems around work, family and international relocation timelines.
- LSCE places Advanced Engineering Systems undergraduates within reach of IMechE London Region events, IET Savoy Place seminars and central London engineering primes.
- Alumni network extending into UK mechanical and electrical engineering employers for mentoring, referrals and continued career support after graduation.
What You Will Learn

The LSCE careers service supports graduates of the BEng in Advanced Engineering Systems with structured CV and portfolio reviews, application coaching for mechanical and electrical engineering employers, and warm introductions across its London industry network. Every student is matched with one-to-one careers time in the final stage of study, and alumni continue to receive job-alert access, senior-role introductions and application coaching after graduation.
Entry Requirements
- A-levels totalling at least 96 UCAS points, or an accepted international equivalent, including one science, maths or computing subject.
- GCSE English at grade 4/C and Mathematics at grade 4/C, or an accepted equivalent.
- Applicants with a Level 3 BTEC or a completed LSCE Certificate or Diploma progress on articulation.
- IELTS 6.0 overall (no band below 5.5) for non-native English speakers.
- Two references, normally one academic and one personal.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and international applicants receive dedicated visa, accommodation and English-language guidance alongside the academic decision.
Why Study at LSCE
The London School of Computing and Engineering is a specialist division of Harold International College of London teaching in small tutor-visible cohorts. LSCE partners with UK professional bodies including IMechE and Engineering Council (UK), and the central London campus places students within a short tube ride of IMechE headquarters at One Birdcage Walk, IET Savoy Place events and the M4 corridor manufacturing supply chain. This proximity to the mechanical and electrical engineering community means guest speakers, placement conversations and industry-attended review boards are routine rather than exceptional.
Every intake joins the same weekly seminar structure with named programme-tutor support, whether the applicant chooses on-campus, fully online with provisioned lab access, or distance learning with the same remote provisioning. Three parallel study modes make the BEng in Advanced Engineering Systems accessible around work, family and international relocation timelines, and the careers service maintains a working contact book across UK employers in the mechanical and electrical engineering sector to support progression at graduation.
Students at LSCE also benefit from the wider Harold International College resources, including a shared library, careers-service connections and elective-module access across the college programme catalogue subject to availability. Applicants routinely combine the LSCE cohort experience with London professional-body events, regional meet-ups and employer-hosted evenings, so the UK sector network is visible from induction onwards rather than only at graduation.
