Graduate outcomes: Strathclyde ranked joint 1st in Scotland HESA Graduate Outcomes results 2026 Ranked Number 6 in the UK (and Number 1 in Scotland) for Electronic and Electrical Engineering by The Times/ Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026 During my degree, I was a summer intern at Scottish Water and had a placement with Davie & McCulloch, a Glasgow-based building services firm. The EEE department’s reputation and connections to industry opened many doors and helped me stand out from the crowd. The combination of mechanical, electrical, electronic, computing, measurement and control elements are now an important part of most modern engineering systems and are essential to meet new challenges in engineering innovation. Examples include energy generation, hybrid petrol/electric vehicles, aircraft design, satellite technology, robotic systems and technology for a sustainable environment. This degree covers key areas of both electrical and mechanical engineering reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of modern engineering. There's a demand for graduates with expertise within and across the boundaries of both disciplines. The degree has dual accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers meaning that you will be able to capitalise on career opportunities in both or either subject. You're introduced to the analysis and design of analogue and digital circuits for electronics and power applications, supported by practical laboratory sessions. You also learn the physical principles underlying the design of mech
