Mechatronic Engineering

About this course

Mechatronic engineering is the discipline that brings mechanical engineering together with electronics, computing and control systems to design intelligent machines and automated systems. Where a purely mechanical engineer might design a structure or machine to move and function, a mechatronics engineer designs systems that can sense their environment, process information, and respond adaptively. Robots, autonomous vehicles, smart manufacturing systems, medical devices and consumer electronics all depend on this kind of integrated design thinking. The discipline is central to the automation and digital transformation of industry, and the demand for engineers who can work across the traditional boundaries between mechanics and electronics is growing rapidly. At the University of Manchester you will follow a four-year programme that includes a foundation year, providing a preparation stag
