This programme aims to develop the knowledge and skills of a bachelor level graduate, with mechanical engineering degree to master's level, through advanced teaching, design work and research. It also provides an opportunity for candidates from a different engineering background to develop key mechanical engineering knowledge and skills required for their professional development. A key objective of the programme is to be an accredited route to becoming a chartered engineer.

This programme makes use of master's level courses in the Energy Sciences and Manufacture and Design field, complemented with specialist courses from relevant MSc courses offered by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.

Entry requirements

We have standard entry requirements for all of our courses that you will have to meet.

A relevant first or second class Honours degree in a physical science or engineering discipline, or a degree qualification, or equivalent qualification recognised by the Malaysian Government, acceptable to the University.

Why Heriot-Watt

We are committed to producing future-ready graduates with high-quality British education. Located in Putrajaya since 2014, Heriot-Watt University Malaysia's purpose-built, state-of-the-art, lakeside campus in Putrajaya is the first “green campus” in Malaysia; catering to a global network of students.

Ranked in the top 10 for Research Impact in the UK, with campuses in Scotland and Dubai, we offer students the opportunity of a truly global seamless learning experience flourishing beyond academic excellence through our Purpose Driven Education approach.

Employability

Mechanical Engineering is identified as one of the critical technical occupations in the next 5-years (TalentCorp). Recent data also ranked Masters level of Mechanical Engineering to be the top-three amongst all engineering disciplines. The programme aims to equip graduates with the latest and specialist technical knowledge in mechanical engineering knowledge through the advanced level courses offered. The courses are taught by collaborative teams across the three international campuses made entirely of PhD holders or registered professional engineers. This would provide graduates relevant and up-to-date industry global insights in the rapidly changing technology landscape. Graduates will gain project management and research skills from the dissertation work invaluable for employment at a higher level career prospect. This is an individual project supervised by a research-active member of staff on a current research theme, often together with industrial advisory and project engagement, with the aim of leading to the production of a journal article. Students are required to complete the Critical Analysis and Research Preparation course in attendance with other MSc engineering candidates giving a broader view of an interdisciplinary approach of a more diversification seen in real industry applications.
