Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This course emphasises systems thinking, sustainability and real-world engineering problems alongside core electrical and electronic engineering knowledge. You'll usually begin with engineering mathematics, mechanics and materials, and practical design skills including CAD. In Year 2, a course like this typically moves into the electrical and electronic core, circuits, systems, thermodynamics and fluids, alongside engineering analysis, computing and simulation. You'll undertake a group design project against a real specification, reviewed in an industry-standard way. In Year 3, you'll pursue specialist options such as robotics and mechatronics, energy and sustainability, or civil and structural engineering, whilst studying professional engineering practice covering safety, ethics and project management. You'll complete an individual project, a substantial supervised design or research piece that forms the degree's centrepiece.
Who it's for
This course suits students with strong science and mathematics foundations. Most accepted students held A-levels or equivalent qualifications; the typical UCAS tariff band among entrants was 96–111 points. You should be comfortable with rigorous technical study and keen to develop practical engineering competence alongside theoretical knowledge.

- Standard analysis and admin
- Repetitive processing tasks
More human than ever
- Judgement and original thinking
- Working with and leading people
- Owning and sense-checking AI output

International students
What applying to ALCAL from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £23,600 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check ALCAL’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with ALCAL and gov.uk before you apply.
