Bath Integrated Mechanical Electrical Engineering Or Warwick Mechanical Engineering

Please help! I have got offer for Integrated Mechanical Electrical Engineering MEng at Bath. I want to study Mechanical Engineering which is what I applied to at Bath but they have offered me Integrated instead. I have Mechanical MEng offer at Warwick. I spoke to bath and there is no changlcenof switching to Mechanical after 1 st year. I really liked Bath they are really oversubscribed for Mechanical. Which one should I go for I am unable to make up my mind. Anyone with experience of both uni’s Engineering and Mechanical vs Integrated course content and career prospect Please help. I will appreciate it. Thanks

Both universities are fantastic, I would have no qualms recommending either.
I personally think mech + EE is actually a really great combination for future mechanical engineers (providing none of the core mechanical science is lost). Mechanical engineering in basically all industries using electrical power systems to control mechanical systems. Having decent knowledge of electrical power & control systems would be very useful for being a great mechanical engineer and adds great breadth to your foundation.
It really depends what you want, for example if you want to be a technical specialist on a very mechanical aligned area focusing entirely on the physics phenomena then you may never benefit from mechanical with electrical but most engineers are not so tied to a very specific domain. Likewise if you prefer focusing solely on mechanical, it’s a great degree and mechanical science is (imo) the most interesting of the major engineering disciplines.

Hi there,

I'm currently on the integrated masters of mechanical engineering at Coventry university, finishing up my third year of study (4th year including placement), so I know a little about studying mechanical engineering and working on an integrated course.
I've really enjoyed being on an integrated masters, it gives you great opportunity to seamlessly flow into further studies without having to re-enrol pay postgraduate fees and move courses. Instead you simply do a final year, consolidating your studies and often getting the chance to work on something that you've been really interested in during your bachelor's years.
Another perk which I enjoy is when you graduate from an integrated masters you graduate with a MEng but if you a bachelors (BEng), and then a masters you actually graduate with a masters of science (MSc) – not a worse option but I liked the sound of a masters of engineering better.

If you're on the fence it can be a tough decision to make, but I personally can't recommend mechanical engineering enough as it gives you the chance to explore multiple disciplines really understand the fundamentals of how engineering works before you specialize in your final bachelors and then your masters year in what you really enjoy, if by then it's electrical engineering that's great for you, but if your passion develops somewhere else that might be difficult if you were on an electrical engineering degree.

Hope this helps
