MEng Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering
About this course
MEng (Hons) Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering is a mechanical engineering degree focused on advanced design, simulation, and modelling. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, and Control Systems. This four-year integrated master's course prepares graduates to work toward Chartered Engineer status and includes an independent research project alongside collaborative group projects. The first year introduces fundamental concepts through modules such as Applied Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Dynamics, Embedded Systems, and Mechatronic Design Project. The second year progresses with Electric Machines. Sensors and Actuators, Electronic Design Project, Robotics Software Development and Modelling, and Robotic Control Design Project. The third year continues with Research Methods and Individual Project, Automation and Control, Electronic and Electrical System Design Project, and Robotics and Machine Intelligence. The fourth year concludes the curriculum with Engineering Major Group Project, Industrial Process Control, Advanced Dynamics and Control Systems, Robotics Design and Manufacturing, and Machine Learning and Computer Vision.

Entry requirements
120-104 UCAS Tariff points. We accept A Levels, T Levels, BTECs, OCR, Access to HE and most other qualifications within the UCAS Tariff. Must include a pass in Mathematics at A level or equivalent level. 4 GCSEs including English Language and Science grade C, or grade 4 or above, and Maths grade B or grade 6. If English is not your first language you will be expected to demonstrate a certificated level of proficiency of at least IELTS 6.0 (Academic level) or equivalent English Language qualification, as recognised by Anglia Ruskin University. In order to progress from level 5 of the BEng course onto level 5 of the MEng course students will normally be required to have successfully completed level 5 of the BEng course at the first attempt and obtained an overall mark of 60% or above. Each student meeting the criteria and expressing an interest in transferring will be interviewed with a view to exploring their motivation and suitability for the course.
