Course in depth

What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.

What you'll study

This MEng integrates electrical and electronic engineering fundamentals with advanced specialisation over four years. You'll usually begin with core mathematics, mechanics and design skills, alongside introductory circuits and systems work. In year two, you'll deepen your understanding of electrical theory, computing and analysis, completing a team design project against a real specification. From year three onwards, a course like this typically moves toward specialist options, such as energy and sustainability, robotics and mechatronics, or a Chartered (CEng) pathway, whilst studying professional engineering practice and undertaking a substantial individual design or research project that forms the degree's centrepiece.

Who it's for

You're drawn to how electrical and electronic systems work, from power and automation to embedded systems and renewable energy, and you want to develop engineering thinking at postgraduate level while still at undergraduate stage. You'll thrive with strong problem-solving habits and curiosity about applied technologies. The integrated structure suits those planning either industry roles or further specialised study; studying this will involve sustained technical work, practical design projects, and independent research. You should be comfortable with mathematics and physics foundations.

How AI is changing the work

AI doesn't replace the profession, it shifts it: routine tasks get automated, while judgement, working with people and using AI well become more valuable.

What AI takes off your plate

  • Routine information gathering
  • First-draft writing and summaries
  • 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
  • Ethics and accountability

The strongest graduates pair subject depth with the ability to use AI tools critically.

International students

What applying to Coventry University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.

Tuition fees

International tuition is £20,800 / 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 Coventry University’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 Coventry University and gov.uk before you apply.
