Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Electromechanical systems are increasingly vital in modern society, with this multidisciplinary field poised to address future challenges in areas such as energy generation, hybrid vehicles, aircraft design, and satellite technology. At the University of Edinburgh, our expertise includes specialisms in carbon capture, materials science and engineering (covering polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice), and engineering at the intersection of biology and medicine. We also excel in renewable energy, notably marine energy pioneered by Professor Stephen Salter. Our world-class research informs teaching, offering students opportunities to engage in projects across these diverse fields.Strong industry ties, through our Industrial Liaison Board with senior representatives from key companies, shape our curriculum and programme development, enhancing career prospects with internships and placements. Students benefit from research-led instruction by leading academics, a balanced mix of theoretical and practical skills, and access to state-of-the-art facilities, including industry-standard software, hardware, and both in-person and remote labs. All degrees are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, providing flexibility to pursue specialist courses. Our supportive community fosters collaboration, supported by Edinburgh's vibrant network of engineering-related companies.
