Mechatronics’ multi-sectorial approach uses design principles, processes, models, operating tools and a different philosophy of Mechatronics engineers that enable the design and development of simple, highly cost-effective and reliable systems.

DMU Mechatronics engineers are in short supply, enjoying a wide variety of jobs because of their diverse skills. The courses have a unique balance of critical analytical topics and technical skills, ensuring you graduate with confidence to deal with difficult engineering situations in the industry. The management skills required to function effectively as a variety of engineers in today’s industry are encouraged and developed across all subject areas.

The duration of the MEng program is four years and the BEng program is three years. At the end of the third year you have the option of leaving with a BEng degree or continue for a further year, depending on meeting the requirements for further MEng degree.By the end of the second year, you have the opportunity to do a year of industry placement, which will extend the relevant program by another year.
