Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Electromechanical systems are increasingly vital in today's world, with this multidisciplinary field poised to address future societal needs. Engineers in this area contribute to energy generation, hybrid vehicles, aircraft design, and satellite technology. At Edinburgh, we specialise in carbon capture, materials science (including polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice), engineering at the biology-medicine interface, and renewable energy such as marine sources. Our world-class research enhances teaching, offering students opportunities for projects in these diverse areas.We maintain strong industry ties through an Industrial Liaison Board that shapes our curriculum and programme development. Students benefit from research-led teaching by leading academics, robust industry connections (especially in microelectronics), excellent career prospects, internships, and final-year placements. Our balanced curriculum covers theoretical and practical skills, with access to state-of-the-art labs featuring industry-standard software, hardware, and both in-person and remote facilities. All programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, allowing flexibility in specialised studies. Our supportive community fosters collaboration, supported by Edinburgh's active network of engineering companies.
