New technologies are transforming the world we live in. On this course you’ll learn the fundamentals of the many revolutionary changes that will affect how machines operate over the coming years.
With this top-up option you’ll get to improve your foundation degree or HND, opening doors to roles with more responsibility and better prospects – not to mention higher earning potential.
Our course equips you to work as a graduate engineer through the skilled application of your knowledge of mechatronics.
You’ll gain a deep understanding of intelligent machines and learn to develop mechatronics systems including electromechanical systems, programmable logic controllers, robotics, precision technologies, systems engineering and engineering management.
Why study with us
- You’ll work alongside our research active staff with the possibility of continuing on to postgraduate study or PhD research.
- Take the chance to travel internationally to participate in conferences and contribute to research publications.
- Benefit from the latest high-quality equipment and facilities available through our new £35m Engineering Innovation Centre.
What you'll do
- On successful completion of our degree, apply for progression to an MSc or world-leading research degrees within the Jost Institute for Tribotechnology.
- Our Engineering Innovation Centre enables you to work on real-world projects with commercial partners in state-of-the-art facilities.
- You can undertake an optional 12 week work placement or 38-week industry placement following completion of the taught modules.

Future careers
Mechatronics and Intelligent Machines is a good base for a career in a range of roles associated with system engineering, test engineers and maintenance engineering.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
