Revolutionise the way we live and work.

Robotics and mechatronics is where mechanical and electrical engineering meet, employing computer science and control systems to make devices smarter and more efficient.

As a robotics and mechatronics engineer, you could design the control systems for a myriad of applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to miniature robots for use in medical applications. Or you might take an everyday household product and turn it into a truly clever device.

Robotics and mechatronics engineers design devices and the programs that control those devices. They’re adept at handling vast amounts of data and creating systems that make sense of data in real time so that a fully automated manufacturing facility can operate safely and efficiently, or a car can drive completely autonomously.

The applications of this field are virtually unlimited. With the knowledge and skills you’ll have when you graduate, you’ll be able to design, develop, manufacture and operate the intelligent products and complex systems of today and tomorrow.

Duration

4 years

Intakes

February, July and October

Course Structure

The common first year lays a foundation in the basic sciences of mathematics, physics and chemistry and introduces the disciplines available to you for further study. You’ll learn to apply your developing math and science knowledge to real-life problems and begin to understand the interaction between engineering and society.

You’ll specialise in robotics and mechatronics engineering in your second year.
