About this course

Robotic and mechatronic engineering combines mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science to design and build intelligent machines that can sense, process information, and act in the world. It is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of engineering, driving advances in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, and space exploration. The discipline requires engineers who can think across traditional boundaries, integrating hardware and software, physical mechanisms and computational control, into coherent systems. This four-year, full-time programme begins with a foundation year that gives you a thorough grounding in the underlying scientific and mathematical principles before you progress to the main degree content. Across the programme you will study mechatronics, control engineering, embedded systems, autonomous vehicles, and robotics, developing both t
