Mechatronics and Robotic Systems with Year in Industry MEng (Hons)

Due to the impact of COVID-19 we're changing how the course is delivered.

This MEng (Hons) degree programme has more depth and breadth than the BEng (Hons) programme in Mechatronics and Robotic Systems, studying core subjects, such as advanced system modelling and control, in more detail and a greater range of subjects.

In addition to the individual final year project, you will also undertake a major group project in the third year.

Work placement/Year in industry

This degree leads more directly to chartered engineer status and it is the choice programme for a career in engineering management. Hn HHR6 you will spend either your third or fourth year on placement in industry.
