MEng in Industrial Engineering
Course Overview
The MEng in Industrial Engineering is a UK Level 7 postgraduate degree, one year full-time or two years part-time. The programme runs across 1 year full-time / 2 years part-time and is focused on industrial engineering and operational excellence. The course equips practitioners in lean, Six Sigma, industrial systems, digital manufacturing and supply-chain engineering, and it is designed for candidates who need a UK credential that carries clear weight with employers. The programme is aligned with InstMC (Institute of Measurement and Control) and Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE, crossover), and it draws on the wider LSCE partnership with UK professional bodies including Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Teaching is structured around a small research-adjacent postgraduate cohort, with weekly tutor visibility, structured critique of student work and a named programme tutor throughout your studies.
By the time you complete the MEng in Industrial Engineering, you will have produced a Level 7 dissertation or sponsor consulting project on a real problem, backed by structured research methods training. Assessment across the MEng in Industrial Engineering blends coursework, applied artefacts and a closing Level 7 dissertation or sponsor consulting project, so you leave with evidence you can put in front of a UK employer or a professional-registration panel. Marks are moderated to UK Level 7 standards, and the course sits inside the LSCE ladder so credit transfer and articulation are considered from your first tutorial. Where relevant, the MEng in Industrial Engineering also builds portfolio evidence toward professional-body membership and the Engineering Council or BCS chartership routes, and the wraparound English-language, careers and study-skills provision on the MEng in Industrial Engineering remains available throughout your registered study period.
Key Features
- Curriculum aligned with InstMC (Institute of Measurement and Control) and Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE, crossover) competency frameworks for the MEng in Industrial Engineering, reviewed each academic year against the latest professional-body guidance.
- Applied laboratory, project or portfolio work in lean embedded across every taught module of the MEng in Industrial Engineering, so learning stays close to industry practice.
- Weekly named-tutor visibility on the MEng in Industrial Engineering with structured written feedback on your Level 7 dissertation or sponsor consulting project and clear progression targets.
- A small research-adjacent postgraduate cohort with cross-cohort critique, employer-style project reviews and mentor pairings drawn from the LSCE alumni network.
- LSCE careers-service introductions to UK manufacturing primes, aerospace, automotive, FMCG and industrial consultancies through the London employer contact book, plus at least one industry-careers day each academic year.
- Three parallel study modes on the MEng in Industrial Engineering: on-campus in central London, fully online with provisioned lab or GPU access, or by distance learning with the same remote provisioning across the MEng in Industrial Engineering.
- Rolling intakes and structured induction so working professionals on the MEng in Industrial Engineering can start when the diary allows, plus wraparound English-language and study-skills support during induction.
