You must demonstrate that your English is good enough for you to successfully complete your course. For this course we require: GCSE English Language at grade 4/C; IELTS grade of 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in each component; or an alternative acceptable English language qualification.
Learn how to design intelligent systems and control systems with our four-year MEng degree. You'll also study the business side of engineering. By taking this four-year degree you'll be able to work in-depth on a project while studying modules on topics in advanced engineering.
During your degree, you'll explore fundamental and advanced concepts such as the mathematical modelling of physical systems; computer programming; computer-based analysis, design and simulation; and control design and machine learning, which is one of the key components of AI. You'll also study management modules that cover a wide range of themes, including marketing, finance and strategic management.
Modules are informed by our world-leading research and designed with input from our industry partners, so you'll have the best start for your career. You'll use industry-standard equipment and learn about state-of-the-art applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.
Our courses share a common first year. You'll get a foundation in a broad range of computer systems areas such as:
- embedded systems
- electric and electronic circuits
- systems engineering and software
- modelling, analysis and control
- mathematics
In the first year, you'll work with students from other engineering disciplines to solve a real-world problem. Your project will be judged by industrial engineers and graduates from our Faculty of Engineering.
In your second year, modules cover topics such as mathematics and data modelling, systems engineering and object-oriented programming. We'll introduce you to key themes and disciplines in management. You'll also work on a project to design, develop and test a mechatronic system.
In the third year, modules cover topics ranging from intelligent systems to accounting and finance for managers. In your final year, you'll study advanced control. This will give you an insight into the techniques used in modern control engineering, both in industry and research. In both years, you can tailor your degree to suit your interests with a diverse range of optional modules.
The highlight of your final year is an individual project where you'll develop your expertise in a range of engineering techniques and other skills that maximise your employability such as project management and communication.
Other options for you
- You have the option to switch to the BEng at the end of your second year.
- You can choose to study a year abroad.
Mechatronics module
All students in the department take our second-year module on mechatronics. Here the module leader Dr Dana Damian talks about why she enjoys working on the module, and the skills that students develop through the module.

The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it's up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers.
In the event of any change we'll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption.
Our courses prepare you for a career where you'll apply your creative problem-solving skills and your understanding of engineering principles to the real world, while working in multidisciplinary teams. These transferable skills can be applied in many sectors across the breadth of engineering and beyond.
During your degree you'll have plenty of opportunities to enhance your employability. You can choose to go on a placement in industry, either during the summer or as a year in industry. Or you could consider studying abroad, either for a full year, or as part of a summer school.
We also have extracurricular projects where you can work with other engineering and science students to design and build rockets, submersible robots, autonomous payloads for satellites, rovers and more. You could also take part in a scheme for undergraduates where you work on research projects with academics over the summer period.
Graduates from all of our courses are highly employable and work all over the world for companies such as Arup, Rolls-Royce, Boeing, Jaguar Land Rover, Thales and IBM. They go on to become professional engineers in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, power generation and sustainable energy.
