Electromechanical Engineering Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)

OVERVIEW

Our Electromechanical Engineering BEng (Hons) degree develops the practical skills and technical knowledge needed for modern engineering careers. You’ll study in Industry 4.0 facilities, using industry-standard software and hardware to design and maintain electromechanical systems for sectors such as automation, robotics and renewable energy.

Built around practical learning: 100% labs and seminars, no lecture theatres. 

* Hands-on Industry 4.0 experience where you work with real industrial equipment, programming robots, controllers, PLCs and advanced manufacturing rigs in our engineering facilities. 

* Apply simulation software and practical design tools used in professional engineering to build expertise across electrical, mechanical and automation systems.

Study in Birmingham - the city of a thousand trades - with industry all around you.

* Study at the heart of UK industry - Birmingham’s rich manufacturing heritage, once known as the 'City of a Thousand Trades' for its diverse industrial output, means you will be surrounded by engineering, advanced manufacturing and innovation hubs. 

* As Britain’s second city, with a strong commercial and industrial economy, Birmingham offers engineering students connections to businesses, start-ups and professional networks throughout the region.
