We offer an overview of the TOP 100 best universities in the world in mechanical engineering according to QS World University Rankings. Mechanical engineering is a very broad discipline that opens the door to many highly paid and sought-after positions. As a future engineer, you can work with any type of mechanical device or system – from refrigerators to biomedical devices, from electric cars to robots and everything in between.

The world's leading universities offer programs that focus on the application of mathematical, scientific principles of classical mechanics to analyze and evaluate the behavior of structures, forces and materials in engineering problems. Courses include training in statics, kinetics, dynamics, kinematics, mechanics.

Mechanical engineering diploma offers excellent job prospects, high salaries, is one of the most popular disciplines among international students.

The world's leading universities, where Nikola Tesla, Rudolf Diesel, Felix Wankel and James Watt studied, are some of the best places where you can get a bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering.
