BEng (Hons) Mechatronic Engineering

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.Learn to combine mechanical engineering with smart electronics, and incorporate an electronics nervous system into other engineering systems and devices.Explore state-of-the-art robotics and autonomous system knowledge.Study at one of the largest departments of electrical and electronic engineering in the country, and access an incredible array of equipment and facilities.

A-level - A*AA including A* in Mathematics and A in either Physics, Electronics, Further Mathematics, Chemistry or Computer Science. If you do not have the required grades or subjects you may want to consider our integrated foundation year. Practical skills are a crucial part of science education and therefore there will be a requirement to pass the practical element of any science A Level taken. Where applicants are applying for science and related degrees, this is likely to be made explicit in the offers you will receive.
