About this course
Design is a key integrating element in all years of the programme. You will learn real-world engineering, the importance of communication, team-working skills, and entrepreneurship initiatives, with emphasis for environmental sustainability, a mind-set for lifelong learning, appropriate management principles and business acumen. Engineering science and design are core disciplines in this programme whilst other important areas are control, electronics, IT, manufacturing technology, and mathematics. Project work will form a significant part of your final year. In year three, MEng students undertake a major group project. Up to four students will work as a multidisciplinary team to design, manufacture, and test their prototype, as well as develop a business plan to market their product. All students will undertake an individual project in their final year. The project is commonly experimental, computational or analytical in nature and it will provide a link relating academic understanding, research methods, and professional ethics. You will be able to choose your individual project topic, most of which are based upon real industrial problems.

Entry RequirementsApplicants must have one of the following Entry requirements:
| A Level | BBB, including mathematics and physics, excluding critical thinking and general studies |
| IB Diploma | 30 points with 5,5,5 at Higher Level, including mathematics and physics |
| STPM | B+B+B+, including mathematics and physics, excluding Pengajian Am |
| UEC | 2 As including mathematics and physics, and grade B3 in 3 further academic subjects, excluding Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese language |
| SAM or other Australian Matriculations | ATAR 86 including mathematics and physics |
| Canadian Ontario Grade 12 Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) | 80% average based on 6 subjects, including Adavenced Functions, Calculus and Vectors and relevant science subjects. Consideration to be made based on relevant individual grades if specific subjects are required.
Canadian Secondary School Diplomas from other provinces are acceptable and to be assessed based on the University’s requirements |
| Advance Placement (AP) | 4,4,4 including AP Calculus and AP Physics. Applicants taking non-preferred subjects may be made an offer across more than three subjects at Advanced Placement level. |
| Diploma – Other Institutions | Acceptance to the second year is on a case by case basis (and at the discretion of the School) but normally would require an overall GPA of 3.33 (out of 4) or 75% and above (consideration to be made based on relevant subjects), and previous studies must meet the prerequisite requirements to the programme |
| Foundation – Other Institutions | Acceptance is at the discretion of the School but normally would require an overall GPA of 3.33 (out of 4) or 75% and above (consideration to be made based on relevant subjects), and previous studies must meet the prerequisite requirements to the programme |
| The University of Nottingham Malaysia Foundation | Successful completion of the Foundation in Engineering programme. |
The Mechanical Engineering degree at UNM publicised a diverse entry route into 1st year of the programme, e.g. A level, IB diploma, STPM, UEC, SAM, Canadian Pre-U and etc.
In addition, UNM offer a 3-semester foundation programme to student who completed SPM (equivalent to GCSE O-level) and a 2-semester foundation programme to student who completed STPM or A level but could not attain the published entry requirements to the engineering degree. Graduates from the foundation programme who meet the minimum MEng performance benchmark will join 1st year of engineering degree programme.
A minimum entry requirements for A-level at UNM is BBB, including mathematics and physics, but excluding critical thinking and general studies. The grade B in A-level PUM (Percentage Uniform Mark) ranging from 70-79 mark, i.e. equivalent to grade A in the university grading system as appropriate minimum quality standard for entry requirements. Although the Mechanical Engineering programme at UNM practices a slightly lower minimum entry requirements for A-level than the UK, our record showed that local student who participated in the UK mobility scheme for one year of the programme have demonstrated academic performance at par to the UK cohorts. There should not be distinction in quality of the graduates since we follow the same progression and award classification rules as the UK.
We strongly encourage all interested students to apply. Our students come to us with a diverse range of qualifications and we also consider applicants’ personal statement, references and interview performance (if you have one) when making a decision. The only way for us to fully determine eligibility is through the submission of a completed application.
