Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechatronic Systems - Including Placement Year

Mechatronics combines principles from mechanics, electronics, computer engineering, automatic control and robots. Mechatronic engineering is the design, manufacture and testing of devices that utilise a combination of these disciplines in the same device. You will gain knowledge of engineering processes, product design, as well as the use of digital electronics and computer-aided (CAD) software. This will enable you to create your own mechatronic systems, developing them from imagination through to reality.
Our BEng Mechatronic Systems will cover electronics, electrical systems and programming. You will cover the following areas:
3D Printing Technology, Drives and Power Electronics, Computer Programming, Sensors and Digital Signal Processing
Motion Control Algorithms,Computer Vision and Robotics, Embedded Systems


With growing capabilities in intelligent systems, the boundaries of these disciplines are blurring, meaning the need for multi-disciplinary mechatronic engineers is growing rapidly.
It is an emerging growth area of employment, with industries such as aerospace, automotive, banking, manufacturing, mining, energy and power production, applicant design and food process are all heavily reliant on the latest mechatronic developments.
Our department has a large pool of external contacts, ranging from companies providing robots for the media industry, through vehicle diagnostics, to electronic systems design and circuit design and manufacture, who work with us and our students to provide advice, placements and eventually graduate opportunities.

GCSE: Science C/4
A-levels: ABB, including Mathematics or Further Mathematics.
Please note we are unable to accept A-level Use of Mathematics in place of A-level Mathematics.
BTEC: DDD, including Distinction in Further Mathematics for Technicians or Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems.
IB: 32 points or three Higher Level certificates with 655. Either must include Higher Level Mathematics grade 5, plus Standard Level Science grade 4. We will accept 5 in either Higher Level Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Higher Level Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation.
We are also happy to consider a combination of separate IB Diploma Programmes at both Higher and Standard Level. Please note that Science in the IB is not required if you have already achieved GCSE Science at grade C/4 or above or 4 in IB Middle Years Science.
Exact offer levels will vary depending on the range of subjects being taken at higher and standard level, and the course applied for. Please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office for more information.
Access to HE Diploma:15 level 3 credits at Distinction and 30 level 3 credits at Merit, depending on subject studied - advice on acceptability can be provided.
T-levels: Distinction, depending on subject studied -advice on acceptability can be provided.

IELTS - 6.0 overal
TOEFL IBT - 76 overall, with a minimum of 18 in reading, 17 in listening, 20 in speaking and 17 in writing
