Course summary

Learn the most exciting aspects of electronics, mechanical design and AI to become an expert in this highly sought-after field.

Mechatronics and robotics engineering is at the forefront of innovation across a whole host of large industries globally.

Transport, healthcare, entertainment, energy – the demand for unique and innovative advances in technologies to deliver sustainable solutions for the future is crucial to them all – and more.

This makes mechatronics and robotics engineering more relevant than ever.

This course will cover the most industry-relevant topics in these fields, empowering you with a range of skills to be able to design and manufacture sophisticated systems that matter in society.

At Leeds, you’ll also get access to industry-standard facilities and the very latest research being carried out in the EPSRC National Facility for Innovative Robotic Systems, right here on campus.

Between the curriculum, facilities and expert teaching, you’ll have a great headstart for your career in industry when you graduate.

Industrial placement year
This programme gives you the opportunity to undertake a paid industrial placement year as part of the course. Our close industry links give you the platform to apply to a number of major organisations such as BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and Mercedes F1 Team.

"The best aspect of my course is by far the focus on practical work. Of course, learning theoretical concepts is an essential part of becoming a competent engineer... However, as any engineer worth their money will tell you, practical work holds key lessons which can never be taught through a textbook."

Ryan Jamal, Mechatronics and Robotics MEng, BEng

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

If the most common grade accepted is higher than our entry requirements, this is due to the attainment of our applicants. If you have been made an offer and you meet or exceed the grades of your offer, you will be accepted.

If grades lower than our entry requirements have been accepted, in most cases this is because we operate contextual admissions as part of our decision making, which considers factors beyond grades. For more information about contextual admissions, please visit our website.
