Switch on your career in mechatronic engineering at Manchester, a university with a prestigious engineering history - and a bright focus on the future. Mechatronics, the marriage of mechanical engineering with smart electronics, is vital to subjects including industrial automation and robotics.To interact with an object, a mechatronic system must know where the object is, be able to move the object and place it in the required new position. The electronics require information from sensors that can detect position, orientation, and visual or audio signals. The electrical inputs from the sensors have to be interpreted and the appropriate signals sent out to the actuators to perform the required operation.A good understanding of feedback control is also required to make changes in the system from one steady position to another, without oscillations or unpredictable movements. In this course you will learn the techniques necessary for the design and implementation of such intelligent mechatronic systems.

Each application is considered individually. Applicants should contact the Admissions Office to discuss their particular circumstances.Our standard academic requirements include 60 credits in an engineering related subject, with 45 credits at Level 3 with a Distinction grade. A minimum of 15 credits must be in Mathematics. Students are also required to have a grade A in A-level Mathematics with a pure element.
AS level results are not considered as part of the standard admissions process at The University of Manchester.
D3 in three Principal subjects, including Mathematics and either Physics, Further Mathematics or Chemistry.We also consider applicants offering Pre-U Principal Subjects, or a mix of Pre-U and A-level subjects, in three distinct subjects.The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. However, the qualification will not form part of your offer conditions.
The University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview. A number of our academic Departments may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course.
36 points overall with 6,6,6 in Higher Level subjects, including 6 in Mathematics, 6 in Physics or Chemistry, and 6 in one other Higher Level subject.For this programme of study we will accept: Higher Level Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and InterpretationApplicants studying the International Baccalaureate Career Related Programme (IBCP) should contact the academic School prior to applying so that their academic profile can be considered.
We consider the Cambridge Technical Diploma for entry provided it is in Engineering with grades DD in combination with a grade A in A level Mathematics.
We consider the Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate for entry in any subject at grade D provided it is in combination with two A levels at grades AA including A in Mathematics and A in either Physics, Electronics, Further Mathematics, Computer Science or Chemistry.
We consider the Cambridge Technical Extended Diploma for entry provided it is in Engineering with grades D*DD, in combination with a grade B in A-level Mathematics.
We consider the Technical Foundation Diploma for entry with Grades DD, in combination with grade A in A-level Mathematics and Grade A in either Physics, Electronics, Further Mathematics, Computer Science or Chemistry.
We consider the National Diploma for entry provided it is in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Grades D*D, in combination with grade A in A-level Mathematics. If you are studying the general Engineering stream, please contact the admissions office to request a full list of the units we require.
We consider the National Extended Certificate for entry in any subject at D provided it is in combination with two GCE A Levels at grades AA including A in Mathematics and A in any of the following: Physics, Electronics, Chemistry, Computer Science or Further Mathematics.
We consider the National Extended Diploma for entry provided it is in Electrical and Electronic with grades D*DD including Distinction in Further Engineering Mathematics. This should be in combination with a grade B in A-level Mathematics.
We consider the National Foundation Diploma for entry in any subject provided it is in combination with two A-levels. Entry requirements are based on achievement of the full National Foundation Diploma with grade D plus two A-levels at grades AA including A in Mathematics and A in any of the following: Physics, Electronics, Chemistry, Computer Science or Further Mathematics.
The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma/Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate and requires two A Levels including Maths and one Science subject to be included within this.The minimum grade required will normally be the same as the lowest grade listed in the A Level entry requirements.
