Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering

Specialise in computer-based advanced design, simulation and modelling and help to design the world we live in.

Use manufacturing, 3D printing, thermodynamics, dynamics and structural analysis to analyse, calculate, model and experience a range of engineering concepts. You’ll specialise in computer-based advance design, simulation and modelling. You'll spend time working on projects with other engineering students, developing your teamwork, management and leadership skills and learning how to analyse and solve problems creatively.

This combined bachelors and Masters degree course prepares you to work toward Chartered Engineer (CEng) status when you graduate.

You'll also meet established engineers from across the industry, learn what it’s like to work in engineering, and be encouraged to join professional bodies, building valuable contacts and knowledge.
