Students must have studied a minimum of two years post GCSE level. However, it is expected that some applicants will be mature students with work experience, who wish to further their career development. These applicants will be processed through standard procedures, which may involve an interview as part of the process.
Those who do not meet the entry requirements may be offered an alternative course.
Do you ever wonder how modern cars, large factories, or autonomous drones work? Do you want to know how to build robots, smart-home gadgets, and cars that drive themselves? If you answer yes to any of the above, then Mechatronics Engineering in the course for you.
This comprehensive course teaches you about the principles behind modern machines of all sizes, from your coffee maker, to smart driverless cars, to fully automated megafactories. The course addresses the industry’s demand for graduates who can combine the principles and applications of mechanical, electronics, and control engineering and computer science to develop creative solutions to challenging problems. You will design, build, and program complex electro-mechanical systems to solve the problems faced by the modern fast-growing global industries.

You will use advanced software to design, simulate, and evaluate mechatronic systems. In the first year you will study mathematics and the underlying concepts of electrical and mechanical technology. In your second year, you will study mechanical and electronic engineering principles and computer-aided-design. As you progress, you will become familiar with embedded system design, properties of materials and methods of manufacturing, digital signal processing techniques, and modern control technologies.
In the third year you will have the opportunity to develop a business plan around a product that you have designed, and face all the challenges associated with manufacturing, marketing, and protecting your products.
Following the third academic year, you are encouraged to undertake a placement year in industry, thereby improving your employment prospects and forming part of your record of professional development as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer.
The final year of the BEng focuses on design and analysis of complex electro-mechanical systems, including the wider economic, social, ethical and environmental implications of engineering projects.
Throughout the four years of the course you will get the opportunity to be involved in solving a range of real-world challenges through joining one of the School of Engineering clubs. This ranges from competing as part of the university’s racing teams, building airplanes, electric and autonomous cars, and developing air, land and sea robots for search and rescue missions.
If you continue onto the MEng, you will study advanced modules such as robotic systems and condition monitoring, and undertake a substantive and integrative project. This is ideal if you wish to purse an advanced level of study.

A qualification in Mechatronics provides career opportunities in a broad spectrum of industries, as well as offering a gateway to all levels in the education sector. Mechatronics graduates have followed career paths as diverse as research and development within aerospace companies through to secondary school teaching. In the contemporary industrial environment, the approach to problem solving, design, and research and development activities is to form multidisciplinary teams, thereby ensuring that all avenues are explored and evaluated. The Mechatronics engineer is well placed in this structure, since the ethos of the subject is broad based.
The course enables graduates to attain management positions, with significant levels of responsibility within a relatively short time.
Graduates may also study for a taught postgraduate degree, MSc, or a research degree, MPhil/PhD, within the Department.
The transferable skills gained during the course, including: project management, group working, and analytical thinking, also enable a graduate to pursue careers in non-technical fields such as: law, accountancy, authoring, and computing.
