Forget about robots coming to take your job – instead, make it your job to design the robots and automated systems of the future. Mechatronics is an exciting field that combines the best of mechanical, electrical and electronic and computer engineering to create new technologies and constantly improve the systems around us. With automation set to play an increasing role in almost every product and industry, this degree will give you skills that are in demand and future-proof your engineering career.

In this degree you will:

• Study the fundamentals of engineering, including applied maths, physics, statistics and system design
• Learn about robotics and autonomous systems, communication engineering, digital logic and computer programming, machine vision and more
• Choose the area you want to specialise in, including electrical and electronic or mechanical engineering, management or entrepreneurship
• Get hands-on project management experience by designing your own major engineering research project

Mechatronics engineers work across a range of fields, including robotics engineering, industrial engineering and product design, manufacturing, data communications, automotive and more.
