Mechatronics and Robotics

Our Mechatronics and Robotics BEng/MEng course focuses on the integration of mechanical, electronic, and intelligent control sub-systems to create complete systems, which could be products, machines, or processes. This multidisciplinary field combines unique design principles, processes, models, and tools that enable mechatronics engineers to develop simpler, more economical, and reliable systems. With mechatronics and robotics engineers in high demand, graduates enjoy versatile and rewarding careers, supported by their broad and interdisciplinary skill set.

The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)*, which supports your progression towards Chartered Engineer status.

You will benefit from a balanced combination of analytical subjects and professional skills, equipping you to tackle complex engineering challenges confidently. Throughout the course, you will develop the management expertise required to excel as a multidisciplinary engineer in a professional setting.

You can study Mechatronics and Robotics as a three-year BEng (Hons) or a four-year integrated master’s course. After the third year, you may choose to graduate with a BEng or continue to the fourth year to complete the MEng, provided you meet the progression criteria.
