MEng (Hons) Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (with placement)

Develop core knowledge of systems engineering across both mechanical and electrical engineering to boost your career prospects in industry.Our course gives you a unique chance to balance an understanding of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering sciences with a focus on systems engineering. You’ll develop a comprehensive knowledge of mechanics, materials, electrical and electronic systems and circuits. And you’ll explore the theory and practice of the latest mechanical and electrical technologies.Being able to apply what you’ve learnt is an important part of your study at Bath. You’ll use theory in coordinated projects and laboratory work where you’ll design and develop products and systems.Group and individual projects are a chance to explore creative approaches to engineering problems. You could design and build robotics, medical devices or sports and games equipment. You’ll also develop valuable skills to add to your technical and scientific knowledge. Through teamwork, problem-solving and management experience, you’ll graduate prepared to work in professional engineering roles.Studying an MEng degree gives you a more in-depth study experience through advanced taught units and semester-long individual and group project work. It also meets the educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer.PlacementGoing on placement gives you the chance to apply your theoretical knowledge to the workplace and learn about the technologies and processes used in industry. You’ll develop your skills in a professional environment and learn about sophisticated engineering systems. Having professional experience can benefit the rest of your degree as well as improve your career prospects. It can also be an opportunity to earn a salary during your degree.Our students have worked at companies including OC Robotics, Renishaw, BAE Systems and Jaguar Land Rover.CareersWe work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries. When you graduate, you’ll have the interdisciplinary skills needed across a wide range of engineering professions. You could go on to pursue successful careers in high-technology industries including electronics, power, automotive, robotics, aerospace or manufacturing. Some of our graduates continue their studies with us or at other universities for a career in academia or research.
