Mechatronic Engineering (Study Abroad)

This five-year MEng in mechatronics includes a year overseas at a partner university alongside the standard engineering curriculum. Mechatronics brings together mechanical, electronic and computer engineering to design systems such as robots, automated machinery and self-driving vehicles. The first year provides a general engineering foundation, with circuitry, instrumentation, programming and engineering science. In the second year, students study system design, control theory and power electronics, and join a team project to build a small mobile robot. Graduates enter careers in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing, where interdisciplinary skills are valued. The international year adds experience of a different academic and cultural setting. Students gain hands-on experience with mobile robotics, which develops practical skills alongside the theory. The team project builds collaboration and communication skills.
