  • I always get help in my need regarding work or career plans from the academy but the student union is useless so the social side was fade. The town too doesn't have much to offer but I have made some great friends.

  • It's great for physical and astrophysics. The forums are the best among all, they provide a lot of opportunities to study abroad and 2 campuses, the societies and sports facilities will never let you feel bored.

Mechatronics brings together precision mechanics, electronics, controls and computer engineering through a process of integrated design. It involves creating a wide range of technologies such as sensors, actuators, interface hardware, control systems, software, and analogue and digital electronics. The applications for these technologies affect all our lives and can be found everywhere: aircraft, cars, trains, healthcare, materials processing, advanced manufacturing systems, defence systems, consumer electronics and more. Using the latest tools and our specialist labs, you’ll learn the fundamental skills in electronic systems, manufacturing technology, engineering mathematics, computer programming, mechanical science, design, robotics and many more areas.
