Course in depth

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

What you'll study

This course develops your design, programming and problem-solving skills for careers in technology and innovation. You'll usually begin with engineering fundamentals: mathematics, mechanics and materials, alongside CAD and workshop practice. In Year 2, you'll move into the electronic and electrical core, circuits, systems and computing, supported by engineering analysis and a team design project against a real specification. Year 3 introduces specialist options such as robotics and mechatronics, energy and sustainability, or the Chartered (CEng) pathway, together with professional practice modules covering safety, ethics and project management. You'll complete a substantial individual design or research project that forms the centrepiece of your degree.

Who it's for

You're drawn to how electronic systems work and want to understand the theory behind them. You'll thrive if you enjoy problem-solving with code and practical applications, and you're willing to engage with both mathematical foundations and real-world design challenges. This course suits those aiming for careers in technology, but also those simply curious about building solutions from the ground up.

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 Middlesex University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.

Tuition fees

International tuition is £17,200 / 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 Middlesex 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 Middlesex University and gov.uk before you apply.

Common questions

Entry is offer-based and set by the university. The most common tariff band among recent entrants was 112 - 127 UCAS points. Use the calculator on this page to see where your predicted grades would put you; many universities also make lower contextual offers.
