About this course
BEng in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering (Industrial), a robotics engineering degree focused on the integration of mechanical, electronic and software disciplines. Core topics include Systems Design, Circuit Design, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The four-year curriculum includes a paid industrial placement year with partner organisations such as Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems. The first year introduces core technical principles through modules such as Circuit Analysis and Design, Mechanics for Mechatronics and Robotics, and Digital Electronics and Microcontrollers. The second year progresses to practical application through modules including Electronic Circuit and Systems Design, Machine Learning, and Embedded Systems Project. The final year delivers advanced compulsory study via modules such as Assistive robotic exoskeletons, Control Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and an Individual Engineering Project.
