Master of Engineering - MEng - Hons in Integrated Design Engineering University of Bath, UK

Our course is for creative engineers who want to design and develop products, machines, and systems. You’ll explore how engineering and design can work together to create new, innovative products to improve lives and respond to the challenges the world faces now and in the future. To do this, you’ll combine engineering studies with learning transferable skills such as complex problem solving and critical thinking. And you’ll think about the wider factors that professional engineers must consider throughout their careers such as ethics, the environment, sustainability, and inclusivity. We'll introduce you to a broad range of topics including systems theory, design integration, information technology, social science and business. In your first two years, you’ll learn core engineering principles and gain confidence in your technical skills with practical work. As your practical knowledge grows, you'll focus on how you can use it in creative design and innovation. Studio-based learning, and Design-Make-Test (DMT) cycles form a key part of your studies and are what set this course apart from many other mechanical engineering degrees. This, along with practical project work, give you the chance to put theory into practice and deliver design solutions to technical problems. You don't need to worry if you haven't made your mind up about whether to study a BEng or MEng yet.

The University of Bath is a public research university in Bath, England. It received its royal charter in 1966, along with a number of other institutions following the Robbins Report. Like the University of Bristol and University of the West of England, Bath can trace its roots to the Merchant Venturers' Technical College, established in Bristol as a school in 1595 by the Society of Merchant Venturers. The university's main campus is located on Claverton Down, a site overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath, and was purpose-built, constructed from 1964 in the modernist style of the time.

In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, 40% of Bath's submitted research activity achieved the highest possible classification of 4*, defined as world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour. 92% was graded 4*/3*, defined as world-leading/internationally excellent. The annual income of the institution for 2021–22 was £361.8 million of which £40.5 million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £388.3 million.
