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 progression 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.

Student profile: Ziad Abass
"One of the best aspects of the course has been the opportunity to work on projects. Project work is given from as early as year one, which, for me, was crucial to develop a deep understanding of what was being taught in lectures."

Ziad Abass, Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering

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.
