You’ll hone your skills in systems design, development, and optimisation by working on a variety of projects and be given the tools to build something on your own from start to finish. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to design and manufacture products efficiently. You’ll also acquire project management and commercial skills that will make you a well-rounded, engineer career-ready for the engineering industry and beyond. Our mechatronics degree is designed to make you relevant in today’s fast-paced engineering and industrial world. As a student at ARU Peterborough, you’ll gain the practical skills and ability to design and build mechatronics systems on your own as well as collaboratively. The course is project-based and focuses on the use of engineering tool kits and product development from start to finish. You will analyse, develop, and optimise mechatronics systems and build multidisciplinary skills in electronics and mechanical engineering that, ultimately, will prepare you to work in a broad range of sectors. This is a great opportunity to get hands-on and develop proficiency in design and manufacture, as well as valuable transferable skills that will distinguish you in the workplace.
