What you will study

Stage 1 is common across all engineering degrees and provides a strong foundation in core engineering principles. You will develop essential skills in mathematics, physics, programming, and electrical and mechanical systems. Through hands-on labs and team-based projects, you will begin to apply theory to practice while building confidence in problem-solving, communication, and design, laying the groundwork for more specialised study in renewable energy engineering in later stages.

Career pathways

Graduates of MEng Mechanical and Electrical Engineering are highly sought after across a wide range of global industries. The course prepares you for careers in sectors such as renewable and conventional energy, offshore engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, transport, robotics, automation, and smart energy systems.
