Program Overview

Program Overview

The MEng Electrical & Mechanical Engineering with International Study program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of both electrical and mechanical engineering principles. This dual-accredited program by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing graduates for a wide range of career opportunities in the engineering sector.

Program Structure

The program consists of five years of study, with the fourth year spent at a recognized overseas academic partner. Students will complete a combination of compulsory and elective classes, including:

• Year 1: Introduction to engineering mechanics, electronic and electrical principles, and engineering mathematics
• Year 2: Development of key skills for the engineering profession, including team working and oral presentation skills
• Year 3: Specialist engineering skills, including mechanical systems, integrated design, and software engineering
• Year 4: Study abroad at a partner institution, with an approved curriculum equivalent to the home one
• Year 5: Multidisciplinary group project, with a strong industrial influence, and elective classes from a range of advanced electrical and mechanical subjects

Assessment and Teaching

Assessment methods include written assignments, individual and group reports, oral presentations, practical lab work, and end-of-term exams. The program uses a blend of teaching methods, including lectures, small group problem-solving tutorials, practical laboratories, and industrial visits.

Entry Requirements

The standard entry requirements for the program are:

• Highers: AAAAB (Maths A, Physics or Engineering Science)
• Advanced Highers: Maths and Physics recommended
• A Levels: AAB-BBB (Maths, Physics)
• International Baccalaureate: 36-32 (Maths HL5, Physics HL5)
• English language requirements: If English is not the first language, students must meet the University's English language requirements
