MEng Electrical & Mechanical Engineering with International study

Program Overview

The University of Strathclyde's MEng Electrical & Mechanical Engineering with International Study program equips graduates with a dual expertise in electrical and mechanical engineering, meeting high industry demand. The four-year program includes international study abroad in Year 4, dual accreditation from the IET and Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and a multidisciplinary group project with industrial influence, preparing graduates for diverse engineering fields.

Program Outline

Graduates will have expertise in both electrical and mechanical engineering, which is in high demand in various industries. The program has dual accreditation by the IET and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, providing graduates with career opportunities in both fields.

Other:

• The program provides students with expertise in both electrical and mechanical engineering, which is in high demand in various industries.
• The program has dual accreditation by the IET and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, providing graduates with career opportunities in both fields.
• Students have the opportunity to study abroad in Year 4 at a partner institution in Europe, Americas, Singapore, China, Australia, or New Zealand.
• The program includes a multidisciplinary group project in Year 5 with a strong industrial influence.

• Scotland
£1,820 Fees for students who meet the relevant residence requirements in Scotland are subject to confirmation by the Scottish Funding Council.
• England, Wales & Northern Ireland
£9,250 Assuming no change in fees policy over the period, the total amount payable by undergraduate students will be capped. For students commencing study in 2024/25, this is capped at £27,750 (with the exception of the MPharm and integrated Masters programmes), MPharm students pay £9,250 for each of the four years. Students studying on integrated Masters degree programmes pay an additional £9,250 for the Masters year with the exception of those undertaking a full-year industrial placement where a separate placement fee will apply.
• International
£26,700 University preparation programme fees Additional costs
• Course materials & costs: the department provides a service whereby printed notes are available to the students subject to a small charge to cover copying costs.
Students are recommended/required to have copies of such notes but we provide access to both printed copies and e-copies. The latter are provided without charge – in accordance with University policy. Any printed material that is mandatory (in that form) is provided without additional charge to the students. It's expected that students will, as part of their course, read around the subjects and consult text books. EEE programmes have a degree of practical and project work that will require the use of consumables/components – again the cost of these are met by the department. for their project work. The other costs incurred with regard to books depends upon student preferences.
• Placements & field trips: the department and student societies support a number of industrial visits throughout the year.
These trips are not mandatory for specific programmes and modules and any incurred charge to cover transport is either met by the students or by the department.
• Study abroad: study abroad is possible in Years 3 to 5 but is only compulsory (in year 4) for the "with International Study" degree programmes.
Students will bear some of the cost of this which will vary depending on country of study. (Support from SAAS and Erasmus may be available). All undergraduates and PGI students are provided for the duration of their course with student-membership of IET (Professional Body) paid for by the department. Some hardware (micro controllers, design boards) may be made available to students for loan subject to appropriate refundable deposit. Students may consider purchase of low cost microcontroller boards for 3rd year and beyond project work - cost from £10 to £30. Access to EEE Computer labs out of working hours is via card access - card cost is £20 - refundable on return of card. (Paid top-ups possible via University IT services). Expected printing and report binding costs are around £15 to £20 a year - will depend upon exact programme and class assignments. Binding is provided at cost (50p to £1.00) by EEE Resource Centre in R4.01. International students: International students may have associated visa and immigration costs.
