Engineering at Keele is about bringing together the breadth of engineering disciplines to create integrated, efficient, and sustainable solutions. It is the field where mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, and digital systems meet, requiring engineers who can see the big picture and manage the details that make complex systems work.
This four-year integrated master’s (MEng) combines undergraduate and postgraduate study in one enhanced degree. You’ll begin with Engineering Fundamentals, building the scientific and technical knowledge to tackle complex problems. Alongside this, Engineering Skills will strengthen your practical ability through labs, workshops, and training in communication and project management, while Engineering Simulation and Mathematics will develop your precision in advanced analysis and modelling. In your fourth year, you will complete master’s-level study, advancing your expertise through specialist modules and a major research project.
Throughout your degree you will integrate components from multiple engineering disciplines, manufacturing principles, and interface control methods to deliver functional, sustainable products and services. In year three you will integrate core knowledge of subsystems from different domains into a coherent, verifiable whole, applying advanced computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, interface management, configuration control, and multi-domain verification.
In your final year, you will explore contemporary topics in engineering at master's level and choose between two major research projects – one based at Keele focusing on cutting-edge research, the other industry-led – allowing you to develop specialist expertise and advanced research skills. This additional year gives you the chance to build deeper expertise, refine your leadership and teamwork skills, and prepare for senior roles in the sector.
Located in the West Midlands, a region renowned for engineering and manufacturing excellence – the programme draws on a strong industrial base. You’ll benefit from industry-informed teaching, networking opportunities, and access to practical experience through local partnerships and initiatives. Professional practice is embedded throughout, preparing you for the workplace with skills in teamwork, ethics and communication. You’ll also grow personally through Professional Challenge Projects based on real industry scenarios – giving you the chance to apply your learning and stand out in a competitive engineering landscape.
