Develop core knowledge of systems engineering across both mechanical and electrical engineering to boost your career prospects in industry.
Our course gives you a unique chance to balance an understanding of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering sciences with a focus on systems engineering. You’ll develop a comprehensive knowledge of mechanics, materials, electrical and electronic systems and circuits. And you’ll explore the theory and practice of the latest mechanical and electrical techniques.
You’ll apply your knowledge in projects and laboratory work where you’ll design and develop products and systems. You’ll also gain key professional skills such as group working, project management and individual project work, so that you are well prepared to lead in your future industrial or research career.
From your first day, we encourage you to develop and use your problem-solving skills and creativity. We do this by challenging you to think about ways to address relevant and real problems we face as a society now and in the future. This includes thinking about issues such as sustainability and ethics, and your role as an engineer in making the world a better place.
Group and individual projects are a chance to explore creative approaches to engineering problems. You could design and build robotics, medical devices or sports and games equipment.
Your first two years on this course are the same for both MEng and BEng degrees. This allows you to move between the two, as well as decide if you want to go on placement up until the end of your second year.
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in mechanical and electrical engineering across a wide range of areas. These include tomography, automotive engineering, and advanced sensors. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.
Our department has sophisticated teaching, project and fabrication laboratories that you’ll use during your degree. These include power and robotics laboratories, workshops, and printed circuit board (PCB) production facilities, dedicated project workspaces and computer laboratories. You'll also have access to laboratories, design studios and facilities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
We work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries to respond to the challenges society faces now and in the future. When you graduate, you'll have the interdisciplinary skills needed across a wide range of engineering professions. Our graduates have been recruited into consultant engineering, consumer product design, energy distribution, logistics, banking and motor industries. Others have found employment in sectors such as IT, financial services, accountancy, the armed forces, or business. Companies they have gone on to work at include

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2025 and ends in 2028. Welcome week starts on 22 September 2025.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision.
In your first year, you'll typically have around 18 to 24 hours of timetabled sessions a week, made up of lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes. Most contact hours throughout your course will be in person, enhanced by some online delivery which will make up a small amount of contact hours, depending on your programme and year of study, and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by activities such as a few online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.
In later years, the amount of timetabled sessions on campus may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work. This may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
Outside your timetabled contact hours, you're expected to carry out independent learning and assessment activities to support your studies. Typically, you should expect to spend a total of 35 to 40 hours on scheduled sessions and independent study each week. Examples of independent activities may include:
The balance of assessment by coursework, exams and practical work will vary throughout your degree, depending on the optional units that you choose. As a guide, 40-60% of the course will be assessed by coursework and practical work, and 40-60% by examination. In your final year, you’ll complete an individual project. You’ll be assessed individually but you may also be assessed as part of a group.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
