Help to design the world we live in. Build your knowledge and practical skills in mechatronics and become a hands-on engineer with strong career prospects.
Mechatronics and Robotics covers the integration of mechanical, electronic and intelligent control sub-systems to realise a complete system, which may be a product, machine or process.
It’s a multidisciplinary subject that employs design principles, processes, models, toolsets and philosophy unique to mechatronics engineers to enable the design and development of simpler, more economical and reliable systems.
You’ll cover a unique balance of key analytical subjects, management and professional skills, ensuring that you're well-equipped to face challenging engineering situations in industry.
You’ll hear from and meet representatives from across the industry, and be encouraged to join professional bodies.
