Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems.
Informed by world-leading research and designed with industry partners, this masters level course in mechatronic and robotic engineering will shape you into a highly employable engineering graduate.If you don't have the scientific or mathematical background for our engineering degrees, this degree with a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing your foundation year you'll be able to progress to the first year of the four-year MEng Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering.Once you've progressed to the MEng degree, you'll spend your first year learning how to control robotic systems, and a second year exploring areas like programming (C++), mechanical design and intelligent systems. You’ll then go on to apply your skills to a practical project. This will see you designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building robots in our innovative iForge Makerspace.In fact, all through your time here, you'll use industry standard equipment, and learn about state-of-the-art applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.In the third year of your MEng, you'll take specialist modules that cover robotics and machine learning, amongst others – tailoring your degree with optional study areas, and getting detailed experience in the lifecycle of engineering projects through group work.Finally, you’ll bring everything you have learned together to complete an advanced project. You’ll collaborate with a world-leading academic to embed technical knowledge and expertise, and advance your understanding of topics such as deep learning, machine vision and cybersecurity.This MEng course provides you with an extra year of study to develop strong skills in robotics and an enhanced understanding, to hit the ground running in your engineering career.
