Mechatronic Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

Mechatronic engineering integrates electrical and mechanical principles to develop solutions for systems involving mechanical components, electrical power, sensing, and control. The University of Southampton's four-year MEng Mechatronic Engineering program, which can include an optional industry year after Year 2 or 3, builds on the BEng curriculum to address industry demands in robotics, flexible manufacturing, and electromechanical systems. This degree equips students with cross-disciplinary skills through core modules in circuits, electronics, programming, and mathematics during the first two years, followed by specialized options and an individual research project in Years 3 and 4.Ranked among the UK's top 5 for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Southampton offers state-of-the-art facilities, including £8m teaching labs and a £100m clean room complex. Assessment includes exams, tests, design exercises, presentations, and group work. The program is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, meeting requirements for Chartered Engineer status, and supports career development through employer partnerships and initiatives like the Careers Hub.

This five-year MEng programme including a year in industry 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 and fourth years 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.
