Informed by our world-leading research and designed in collaboration with our industry partners, this masters level course gives you the best start as a systems engineer.You’ll complement new skills in computer software and hardware with a deep understanding of systems design. You’ll also use industry standard equipment to learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.The first year gives you solid grounding in the theory of complex electro-mechanical systems. The second year focuses on core modules such as programming (including C++, Python and Java) and data modelling alongside a practical project – designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building your designs in our iForge Makerspace.Year three will see you combining specialist modules like intelligent systems and cybersecurity with a massive range of optional modules – chosen according to your personal passion and career aspirations.Year four puts your academic study into context, as you gain work experience and improve your employability prospects with one of our industry partners.This all builds to an advanced project in your final year, where you’ll work one-on-one with an academic, deepening your technical knowledge and developing your expertise in a range of engineering techniques.This MEng course provides you with an extra year of study to develop strong skills in systems and an enhanced understanding to hit the ground running in your engineering career, plus a full year in industry to put your learning into practice.
