This MEng (Hons) degree programme has more depth and breadth than the BEng (Hons) programme in Mechatronics and Robotic Systems. Therefore you will study a greater range of subjects. You will also study the core subjects in more detail such as Advanced System Modelling and Control. In addition to the individual final year project, you will also undertake a major group project in the third year.

Our degrees have excellent career prospects: 90% of graduates go on to graduate level jobs. Graduate employers include Siemens, BAE Systems, BT and Guardian Media Group.
