MEng in Electromechanical Engineering
Course Overview
The MEng in Electromechanical Engineering is a UK Level 7 postgraduate engineering degree running one year full-time or two years part-time. It covers integrated electromechanical design for industrial machinery, mobility platforms and energy systems where mechanical, electrical and control disciplines must be engineered together. The syllabus is aligned with IMechE and IET competency frameworks and Engineering Council UK-SPEC learning outcomes.
By graduation you will be leading integrated design reviews, sizing motors and drives against duty cycles, and closing with a dissertation, capstone or sponsor consulting project on a live electromechanical system.
UK mechanical and electrical practice is shaped by IMechE, IET and Engineering Council UK-SPEC expectations, UK safety regulation and export-oriented industrial standards.
Students are assessed through applied coursework, a technical portfolio and a substantial dissertation or capstone project defended in a viva-style review.
The postgraduate cohort model uses paper-reading groups, structured critique and dissertation supervision meetings from induction onwards.
The programme sits at UK Level 7 and closes with a substantial research or applied piece defended in a viva-style review.
