There is a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines to effectively and informedly design systems that interchange and manage electrical and mechanical energy. This degree gives you the fundamental knowledge and tools to satisfy this demand uniquely, focusing on electro-mechanical energy conversion.


During this course, you will study units from the mechanical and electrical disciplines along the following themes:


  • design and integration of electro-mechanical systems;
  • energy conversion and actuation systems;
  • embedded systems and control;
  • power electronics and electric drives; and
  • energy management.


Years one and two offer a grounding in mathematics, thermal management, dynamics and control, computing, electrical energy technologies, and analogue and digital electronics. Laboratory work and case studies will draw together these interdisciplinary foundations.


In year three, in addition to classroom-based subjects, you will engage in a research project. This will give you the freedom to apply the knowledge and skills that you have developed, focusing on a specific topic area, from actuation and sensor systems and intelligent adaptable power systems to efficient, clean propulsion technologies.


Your final year will see you working as part of a larger team of students, often with an industrial partner. Here, you will solve an engineering-related problem related to your programme subject matter. You will also have a choice of modules offering more in-depth engineering topics.


Mechanical and electrical engineering graduates will be able to innovate technologies in a range of areas. These might include:


  • the power flow of renewable energy microgrids, from the wind to the electric generator and the power network to the user in the home;
  • actuation systems for motion control or robotics used in healthcare and manufacturing;
  • the complete power train of future electric vehicles, from the energy storage system, through to the electric motors, to the mechanical drivetrain and traction system;
  • efficient energy storage, allowing sensors to operate in previously inaccessible and far-reaching locations.



This programme is currently under review for accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. The outcome is pending.
