The department currently delivers a Manufacturing Systems and Design Engineering programme in Seoul Tech, South Korea, our Mechanical Engineering programme in KDU Penang, Malaysia, and Engineering Management, Mechanical Design Engineering and Product Design Engineering programmes in MDIS, Singapore.

Study Abroad

Many students are keen to take advantage of the option of studying abroad for a year, while reading for their undergraduate degree. This is a fantastic opportunity to enable students to experience living in a different country, improve communication skills, and make new contacts. The workplace is invariably a global market now; so to have the experience of studying in a different country is an excellent way of demonstrating working internationally on your CV.

  • VIA University College, Horsens, Denmark
  • EIGSI La Rochelle Engineering School, France
  • College of Dunaύjvάros, Hungary
  • West Pomeranian University of Technology, Poland
  • ICAI School of Engineering, Madrid, Spain
  • Mevlana University, Turkey 
  • Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Australia
