MEng Mechatronics

  • Objectives In this four-year MEng course you will study devices which combine mechanical and electronic components such as camcorders, robots, sound and vibration control systems and DVD drives. Mechatronics engineers are in great demand from a wide range of industries, especially those concerned with the design and manufacture of the above products and many more. The course is available as a three-year BEng or four-year MEng degree. We use a wide variety of teaching and assessment methods to deliver a broad learning experience and equip you with transferable skills. There are also opportunities to study another language, and take part in group and individual projects.
