BEng/BEng (Hons) Mechatronics

This course aims to provide you with the mechatronics skills that are in high demand from employers. You’ll learn to understand mathematical methods and broad engineering science concepts, then apply these to the design and development of electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering systems. You’ll also gain skills in design techniques, components and systems, computer-aided engineering and modelling techniques. The degree course has Incorporated Engineer accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Honours degree has partial Chartered Engineer accreditation. This means that you will graduate with a highly regarded professional qualification as well as a degree.
