MEng (Hons) Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Bristol United Kingdom | University of Bristol

Industry urgently needs engineers with expertise bridging mechanical and electrical engineering. This program equips you with core knowledge and skills to meet this demand through an innovative approach.

Your studies will combine mechanical and electrical coursework across key areas: electro-mechanical system design and integration, energy conversion and actuation systems, embedded control systems, power electronics and drives, and energy management.

The first two years establish fundamentals in mathematics, thermal systems, dynamics and control, computing, electrical power technologies, and analog/digital electronics. Hands-on labs and case studies integrate these interdisciplinary concepts.

During your third year, alongside coursework, you'll undertake an independent research project synthesizing knowledge from across the curriculum.

Fourth-year students select specialized electives and collaborate on a major group design project. Your unit selections and project focus allow specialization in areas like robotic actuation systems, smart power grids, or sustainable propulsion technologies.

Graduates will drive innovation across multiple fields, potentially working on:

renewable microgrid systems from generation to end-user applications,
healthcare and industrial robotics through mechatronic integration,
next-gen electric vehicle powertrains from batteries to traction systems,
self-powered sensor networks using ambient energy harvesting.
