COURSE CURRICULUM

The BEng Mechatronic Engineering degree at the University of Manchester offers a comprehensive curriculum that integrates mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering principles. In the first year, students build a strong foundation with modules covering electrical and electronic engineering principles, digital electronics, programming, electronic materials and devices, and mathematics, alongside practical engineering experience. The second year advances technical knowledge through modules in microcontroller engineering, digital systems design, signals and systems, machines, drives and power electronics, control systems, applied mechanics, industrial robotics, and electronic circuit design, while also developing project management skills and completing an embedded systems project. In the final year, students focus on specialized topics such as mobile robots and autonomous systems, power electronics, mechatronic analysis and design, control systems, sensors and instrumentation, alongside a substantial individual project that allows them to apply theoretical knowledge in practical, real-world contexts. Optional modules such as numerical analysis, data networking, and concurrent systems allow further tailoring of the degree to individual interests and career goals. The program emphasizes the combination of theory, practical application, and professional development, equipping graduates with the skills and experience needed for careers in robotics, automation, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. Manchester’s state-of-the-art facilities, industry connections, and expert faculty support students in becoming highly capable and employable engineers.
