IMechE Accreditation

Students completing an IMechE accredited degree are deemed to have met part or all of the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer and are in a strong position to move on to achieve professional engineering status after a period of initial professional development in industry.

IMechE degree accreditations

BEng (Hons) Degrees

The accredited BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.  

The accredited BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering will automatically meet, in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

MEng Degrees

The accredited MEng Mechanical Engineering and MEng Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

MSc Degrees

The accredited MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.  

It should be noted that graduates from an accredited MSc programme that do not also have an appropriately accredited Honours degree, will not be regarded as having the exemplifying qualifications for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council; and will need to have their qualifications individually assessed through the Individual Case Procedure if they wish to progress to CEng.
