Mechatronics (Hons)

The first two years of study will lay the common foundations in areas including mathematics, computing systems, mechanical, and electrical engineering, as well as information and telecommunication in the industrial automation sector. During the second year, students undertake the group Innovation Project module, which provides their first insight into modern mechanical systems. Students have the opportunity to consolidate their practical knowledge in the third year while undertaking an individual project on an aspect of mechatronics engineering.

This programme is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. The overall aim of this programme is to create graduates who will be aligned with the needs of industry. The first two years of study aim to lay the common foundations of knowledge required for further study. The final year provides students with an opportunity to deepen their learning through engagement with a substantial independent project. Teaching methods may include lectures, tutorials, workshops sessions, and laboratory classes.
