About this course

Clarity helps us to understand our users’ behaviour by visually representing their clicks, taps and scrolling. All data is anonymised. Mechatronics is a fusion of mechanical, electrical and control engineering.

In order to compete successfully in a global market, modern manufacturing companies must have the ability to integrate electronics, control, software and mechanical engineering into a range of innovative products and systems. As a graduate of this programme you will have this interdisciplinary knowledge, skill and approach to engineering. In fourth year you will take part in a multidisciplinary integrated system design project, working in teams alongside students of other engineering disciplines.

You will study the same courses in the first three years whether you are on the BEng or MEng degree programme. Both embed creativity to develop world changing engineers.
