Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
This integrated Master's programme combines electronic and electrical engineering with business studies, giving you technical depth alongside commercial awareness. A course like this typically begins with foundational engineering principles alongside core business modules, covering management, economics and marketing. From Year 2 onwards, you'll usually progress to advanced engineering topics and organisational behaviour, strategy and operations management. Years 3–5 allow you to pursue specialist options, such as entrepreneurship, digital business, international business, consulting, marketing or people and HR. You'll typically complete a capstone project integrating both disciplines, whether a live venture, real client brief or dissertation.
Who it's for
This course suits graduates with strong A-level results or equivalent qualifications. Most accepted students held A-levels or equivalent, typically with a UCAS tariff of more than 240 points. You should have a genuine interest in both engineering problem-solving and business decision-making, and be prepared for an intensive five-year programme that develops both technical and commercial skills.
Careers & job market
Across Business & Management courses nationally, 87% of graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of graduating, and 60% of working graduates are in highly skilled roles or undertaking further study. National earnings data shows starting salaries of £24,000–£32,000 at 15 months post-graduation, rising to £26,350–£37,200 after five years. This integrated master's opens pathways into specialisations such as marketing, finance, operations, strategy, consulting, supply chain, HR, international business and entrepreneurship, combining technical credibility with business acumen valued across sectors.
University & format
You'll study full-time over 5 years at the University of Strathclyde, a public university founded in 1796, located at the John Anderson Campus. The degree is taught in English and leads to an MEng (Hons) award, a nationally recognised integrated Master's qualification from a UK degree-awarding body.

International students
What applying to Strathclyde from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £30,950 / 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
Strathclyde offers the Faculty of Engineering International Scholarship (15% reduction in tuition fees) for international students, see Scholarships above.
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 Strathclyde and gov.uk before you apply.
