Electro-Mechanical Engineering

Electro-mechanical engineering is the discipline that designs and develops systems combining electrical and mechanical elements, the kind of systems at the heart of modern manufacturing, automation, robotics, and clean energy technology. Almost all modern machines involve this integration: electric motors, actuators, sensors, and control systems are embedded in everything from electric vehicles and renewable energy installations to industrial robots and consumer appliances. Engineers who understand both the electrical and mechanical dimensions of these systems are in consistent demand across the economy.

At Coventry, this three-year full-time programme develops the skills needed to solve complex problems in machinery, infrastructure, and design, combining the science and technology that engineering demands with the creative and systematic thinking that distinguishes excellent practitioners. You will study electrical and electronic principles alongside mechanical engineering fundamentals, including design, thermodynamics, materials, and manufacturing, developing the integrated competency needed to work on systems that span both domains. The programme includes a sandwich placement year, a year abroad, and work placement opportunities, giving you substantial professional and international experience.

The typical entry tariff is 88 points.

Graduates of electro-mechanical engineering programmes work in manufacturing automation, robotics, renewable energy, automotive engineering, aerospace, and a wide range of industries where electrical and mechanical systems are integrated. The combination of disciplines is particularly valuable in sectors developing new technologies, where the boundaries between mechanical and electrical engineering are increasingly porous. Many graduates pursue professional engineering accreditation and work towards chartered status, or go on to postgraduate study in a specialist area of engineering.
