About Mechatronics and Robotics BEng/MEng, MEng (Hon) - at De Montfort University

Mechatronics and Robotics BEng/MEng covers the integration of mechanical, electronic and intelligent control sub-systems to realise a complete system, which may be a product, machine or process. The multidisciplinary nature of Mechatronics employs design principles, processes, models, toolsets and philosophy unique to mechatronics engineers which enable the design and development of simpler, more economical and reliable systems. Mechatronics and Robotics engineers are in short supply, and enjoy highly versatile careers due to their multidisciplinary skills.

The course covers a unique balance of key analytical subjects and professional skills, ensuring that you graduate well-equipped to face challenging engineering situations in industry. The management skills necessary to operate successfully as a multidisciplinary engineer in industry are promoted and developed at all stages of the course.

You can study Mechatronics and Robotics either as a three-year BEng (Hons) programme, or as a four-year integrated master’s. At the end of year three, you have the option of graduating with a BEng or continuing your studies for a further year for a MEng, subject to meeting the progression requirements.

Key features

Benefit from dual accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), which will help you start your journey towards Chartered Engineer status.
Be guided by experienced academic staff who help you gain a sound understanding of engineering principles along with transferable professional skills that will enable you to embark on a rewarding career.
Learn in dedicated facilities, including our large, open-plan mechanical engineering laboratory designed to accommodate the study of thermofluids, solid mechanics and dynamics; specialist laboratories in material science, dynamics and control, as well as an Engine Test Cell.
Gain invaluable experience and explore professional opportunities with a 12-month work placement. Students have undertaken placements as Engineering interns with large organisations such as Rolls Royce, and with our own DMU Racing team.
Gain hands-on experience and meet like-minded people from across the School of Engineering and Sustainable Development by joining our thriving student societies, such as DMU Flyers, Electronics Club and DMU Racing.
Enjoy an international experience with DMU Global, which can enrich your studies and expand your cultural horizons. Engineering students have previously investigated feats of skyscraper engineering in New York and explored the BMW Motorrad factory in Berlin.

Benefit from Education 2030, where a simplified ‘block learning’ timetable means you will study one subject at a time and have more time to engage with your learning, receive faster feedback and enjoy a better study-life balance.
