Mechatronic Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Mechatronic engineering integrates electrical and mechanical principles to develop systems involving mechanical components, electrical power, sensing, and control. This three-year BEng degree at Southampton equips students to address industry demands in robotics, flexible manufacturing, electromechanical systems, and power transmission. Students explore combining microelectronics with mechanical elements in applications like electric vehicles and industrial robots, supported by top-ranked facilities, including £8m teaching labs and a £100m clean room complex. The program features core modules in circuits, electronics, programming, and mathematics during the first two years, followed by specialized options and an individual research project in the third year.Assessment includes examinations, tests, design exercises, presentations, and group work. Graduates benefit from strong employer links, career support, and accreditations from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, preparing them for roles as Incorporated Engineers.

This three-year BEng programme has been designed to maximise student choice by allowing you to tailor the degree structure to suit your own interests. During the first two years you will undertake a series of core modules, for example Circuits, Electronic Systems, Programming, Digital Systems and Devices, Fields, Forces and Materials, and Mathematics. In your third year you can choose from a wide range of optional modules that reflect the specialist areas of electronic engineering that will take you to the leading edge of technology sought by industry. You will also work on an individual project with one of our research groups which will allow you to work at the frontier of knowledge.
