About Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering, MEng - at University of Sheffield

This four-year MEng will develop your engineering skills across key areas of mechatronics and robotics, including; mechanical design, electronics, computing, intelligent systems and control. You'll work on an in-depth project and study modules in advanced engineering.

Modules are informed by our world-leading research and designed with input from our industry partners, so you'll have the best start for your career. You'll use industry-standard equipment and learn about state-of-the-art applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.

Our courses share a common first year. You'll get a foundation in a broad range of mechatronic and robotic areas such as mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems. In the first year, you'll learn how to control robotic systems and you will work as part of a team to design, analyse and test robots, autonomous vehicles and other complex electro-mechanical systems.

In your second year, modules cover advanced control theory, programming (C++), mechanical design, intelligent systems and other engineering skills. You'll then apply your skills to a practical project, where you'll design a system using 3D CAD tools. You'll then build the system in our iForge makerspace. This innovative facility gives you access to 3D printers, laser cutters and more.

In your third year you'll take specialist modules that cover robotics and artificial intelligence (machine learning), and you can tailor your degree to suit your interests with a choice of optional modules. You'll work in a group on a comprehensive assignment, gaining detailed experience in the lifecycle of engineering projects.

The highlight of your final year is an advanced project. Working individually with one of our world-leading academics, you'll deepen your technical knowledge and develop your expertise in a range of engineering techniques and skills such as project management and communication. You'll also study robotics and autonomous systems while choosing from advanced topics such as deep learning, machine vision and cybersecurity.

Other options for you:

  • You could switch to the version of this degree with a year in industry.
  • You can choose to study a year abroad.
