Program details
Overview
Mechatronic Systems Engineering at Western University is an undergraduate degree that follows the Faculty of Engineering's Common First Year and combines two engineering disciplines across its four-year structure. Coursework draws on electrical and computer engineering topics such as basic circuit theory, computer design, software design, embedded computing, and control systems, alongside mechanical and materials engineering topics such as dynamics, material properties, machine design, and thermodynamics. Students interested in medical-device applications can add a concurrent Biomedical Engineering degree, covering signal processing, imaging, and biomedical systems. Combined-degree options also exist pairing mechatronic systems engineering with Ivey's HBA, with Law, or with more than fifty major modules across Science, Music, Social Science, or Arts and Humanities faculties. Teaching is based on Western's main campus in London, Ontario. The dual electrical-and-mechanical curriculum suits students interested in the interface between the two disciplines, particularly those aiming toward design, robotics, or control-systems roles that require both mechanical and electrical or computing knowledge rather than a single specialization.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Western's Mechatronic Systems Engineering page states no separate Grade 12 entry requirements of its own: students first gain admission to Western Engineering's shared Common First Year and choose this option for year three. Ontario applicants to Common First Year need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six Grade 12 U/M courses, including English (ENG4U), Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), admitted competitively on the top-six average rather than a fixed cut-off. To progress from first year into this option, students must additionally achieve a Year 1 Weighted Average greater than 70%, per the Faculty's own progression page. International applicants must also meet Western's institution-wide proof-of-English-proficiency policy: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 83 with no section below 20 (before January 21, 2026), among other accepted tests, unless exempt.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Western applies through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre, which opens for Fall 2027 entry in late September 2026; Western's own equal-consideration deadline for full-time undergraduate study is 15 January 2027, the same date used for domestic (OUAC 101/105) and international applicants alike, since Western publishes no separate international closing date. Several named programmes carry their own earlier deadlines within the cycle: Medicine (MD) closes 1 October 2026, Law (JD) and Dentistry (DDS) close 1 November 2026, Education (BEd) closes 2 November 2026, and Western Integrated Science closes in early April 2027. Students already enrolled in an Ontario high school cannot be required to respond to an offer before 1 June 2027. Admission is not rolling: applicants are assessed against these published deadlines. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
