This Integrated Masters course in Mechatronics gives you the opportunity to learn the skills required to become a professional engineer, with sound analytical proficiency in mechanical, electronics and software engineering, such as: embedded systems, dynamics and control, and system integration. These will be complemented by management skills necessary to work as a multi-disciplinary engineer in modern industry. The duration of the MEng programme is one further year in addition to the three-year BEng programme. At the end of year three you have the option of exiting with a BEng degree or continuing for a further year for a MEng degree, subject to meeting the progression requirements for the MEng degree.
100% of our Mechatronics graduates from summer 2017 are in work or further study after graduating according to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) 2016-17 report. Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at DMU earned 98% student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2017, the second highest across all higher education institutes for this subject.
