Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering BEng

The future of intelligent machines is shaped through a degree in mechatronic and robotic engineering. This course combines mechanical design, computing, electronics, AI, and control to prepare for a career at the forefront of robotics and automation.

Informed by world-leading research and designed in collaboration with industry partners, the programme blends theory with hands-on learning. Industry-standard equipment is used to explore real-world applications in robotics, industrial control, and advanced manufacturing.

In Year 1, strong foundations are built in mathematics, computing, electronics, and system modelling, alongside work on an extended group project programming a mobile robot to perform various actions.

In Year 2, robot principles, mechanics, and machine vision are studied, as well as control, communications, embedded systems, and machine learning. Knowledge is applied through design projects and system integration.

In Year 3, an advanced individual project is undertaken with a specialisation in either Mechatronics and Robotics—covering areas such as robot design, motion planning, and machine learning—or Control, focusing on digital signal processing, optimisation, and real-time embedded control.
