Course summary

As a mechatronic engineer, you combine mechanical skills, smart electronics, and robotics with control systems to address a range of complex engineering projects. The innovative graduate who enjoys the challenge of combining these varied areas of practice may find a role in which they could make a real impact. Why study Mechatronic Engineering BEng (Hons) at Huddersfield? Opportunities for individuals with this specialised mix of skills are ever increasing, with mechatronic engineers getting involved in the design of functional products, ranging from large aircraft to robotic manufacturing lines. Sustainability is key to all engineering disciplines and mechatronics also provides an opportunity to drive this agenda through the innovative application of this novel skillset. In our mechanical engineering subject area, our degree programmes share the same first year of study, allowing you to leave your options open until the start of your second year. During your first and second year, you'll take part in our EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment) initiative, which will see you work in small teams to solve real mechatronic engineering problems. This will give you the confidence to take on an industrial placement in your third year, or secure your first graduate role post-university. A vibrant town surrounded by beautiful countryside, Huddersfield is a friendly and diverse place from which to study, too, offering lots of things to do between lectures.
