Develop core knowledge of systems engineering across both mechanical and electrical engineering to boost your career prospects in industry.<br/><br/>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 techniques.<br/><br/>You’ll apply your knowledge in projects and laboratory work where you’ll design and develop products and systems. You’ll also gain key professional skills such as group working, project management and individual project work, so that you are well prepared to lead in your future industrial or research career. <br/><br/>From your first day, we encourage you to develop and use your problem-solving skills and creativity. We do this by challenging you to think about ways to address relevant and real problems we face as a society now and in the future. This includes thinking about issues such as sustainability and ethics, and your role as an engineer in making the world a better place.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>The first two years of this course are the same for both MEng and BEng degrees. This allows you to move between the two, as well as decide if you want to go on placement up until the end of your second year.<br/><br/>Teaching<br/>You’ll learn from academics with expertise in mechanical and electrical engineering across a wide range of areas. These include biomechanics, tomography, automotive engineering, and advanced sensors. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.<br/><br/>Facilities<br/>Our department has sophisticated teaching, project and fabrication laboratories that you’ll use during your degree. These include teaching laboratories, power and robotics laboratories, workshop and printed circuit board (PCB) production facilities, dedicated project workspaces and computer laboratories. You will also have access to laboratories, design studios and facilities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

UCAS TariffNot Accepted Scottish HigherAccess to HE DiplomaD:36,M:3 A pass in the Access to HE Diploma (in Science or Engineering), with at least 36 credits achieved at Distinction and 3 credits achieved at Merit or above. This must include 12 credits from Mathematics units (including Calculus) achieved at Distinction and 12 credits from Physics units achieved at Distinction. International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme36 Typical Offer 36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in either HL Mathematics and 6 in Physics. Mathematics is required at Higher Level and we strongly prefer applicants with Physics at Higher Level. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying Standard Level Physics. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in either HL Mathematics plus 7 in Standard Level Physics. International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme We consider applicants studying the IBCP on a case-by-case basis based on the individual IB certificates and vocational qualifications you study within the programme. You will need qualifications equal to at least three A levels to be considered. To be considered for this course you will need to study either Mathematics course at Higher Level. Your remaining IB and vocational study should include sufficient Engineering and Physical Science content. Contextual offer 6, 6, 5 at HL 36 points overall and 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in either HL Mathematics and 6 in Physics. Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)DDD DDD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus grade A in A level Mathematics. We are able to consider the above qualifications in Engineering, Applied Science, Construction and the Built Environment, and Building Services in combination with A level Mathematics. OCR Cambridge Technical Extended DiplomaD*DD D*DD in the Cambridge Technical Level 3 Extended Diploma plus grade A in A level Mathematics. We are able to consider the above qualifications in Engineering. Scottish Advanced HigherA,A AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics. We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved at least AAAAB in their Highers. AQA Level 3 Technical Level (1080 glh)Not Accepted A levelA,A,A A*,A,B Typical offer AAA or A*AB in three A levels including A in Mathematics and A in Physics. Contextual offer AAB AAB in three A levels including A in Mathematics and A in Physics. Alternative offers with additional study AAB We know that you may have study beyond three A levels that will help prepare you for your degree. If you are not eligible for a contextual offer, we recognise these studies through our alternative offers. AAB in three A levels including A in Mathematics and A in Physics plus additional study - please see the course pages on our website. |
