BEng (Hons) Mechatronic Systems

Studying mechatronics will enable you to develop these sophisticated intelligent systems we are so reliant on in the modern world. Mechatronics combines principles from mechanics, electronics, computer engineering, automatic control and robots. Mechatronic engineering is the design, manufacture and testing of devices that utilise a combination of these disciplines in the same device. You will gain knowledge of engineering processes, product design, as well as the use of digital electronics and computer-aided (CAD) software. This will enable you to create your own mechatronic systems, developing them from imagination through to reality.Our BEng Mechatronic Systems will cover electronics, electrical systems and programming. You will cover the following areas:3D Printing TechnologyDrives and Power ElectronicsComputer ProgrammingSensors and Digital Signal ProcessingMotion Control AlgorithmsComputer Vision and RoboticsEmbedded SystemsStudy mode: Full-time, Maximum duration: 3 years

GCSE Science at grade C/4 is required. A-levels: BBB–BBC or 120–112 UCAS tariff points from a minimum of two full A-levels, including a grade B in Mathematics or Further Mathematics (A-level Use of Mathematics is not accepted as a substitute). BTEC: DDM–DMM or 120–112 UCAS tariff points from at least the equivalent of two full A-levels, with BTEC DDD accepted only if it includes a Distinction in Further Mathematics for Technicians or Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems. IB: 32 points or three Higher Level certificates with 655, including Higher Level Mathematics grade 5 and Standard Level Science grade 4; a grade 5 in either Higher Level Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Higher Level Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation is acceptable. IB 30–29 points or three Higher Level certificates with 555–554 may also be considered, provided they include Higher Level Mathematics grade 5 and Standard Level Science grade 4. Access to HE Diploma: 15 Level 3 credits at Distinction and 30 Level 3 credits at Merit, depending on the subject studied; advice on acceptability can be provided.
