Robotics, Mechatronics and Control Engineering (Hons) Loughborough University

Overview

The aim of this new BEng  Robotics, Mechatronics and Control Engineering (Hons) degree from  Loughborough University  is to provide core skills and knowledge in robotics, mechatronics and control disciplines. 

Key Facts

The course will enable students to understand the fundamental processes and techniques in autonomous systems, blending subject such as, electronics, control, manufacturing principles, and mechanics. It combines theoretical and practical engineering principles, with application to real industrial problems.

There is a strong strategic direction for global industry in Robotics and Automated Systems (RAS) as evidenced by a host of national and international strategy documents and networks. Companies are developing robotic and autonomous solutions and products, but now need graduate engineers with the expertise to define the technology. 

What's the difference between MEng and BEng? 

The structure of the first two years are common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with engineering and electrical science core skills, combined with control system design and mechanical engineering for robotics. The application of engineering and electrical science shared with the solution of industrial problems is a strong theme throughout the courses.

The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, providing enhanced opportunities to study your chosen specialist subjects in depth. In addition, MEng students follow extra modules in business management and application of management theory.

Students studying on the BEng course may have opportunity to change to the MEng course if their performance in the first and second year is sufficiently strong. 

Your future career:

Loughborough University's courses are industry led and are designed to give you the skills and knowledge required to have a successful career upon completion. 

For those aspiring to achieve Chartered Engineer status and beyond with our accrediting institutions, we actively encourage membership as the starting point.

As a new course, there are no graduates as of yet. The course equips students with the skills to work across the robotics and automation world, from robotic systems on production lines, to autonomous vehicles, and domestic service robots.We have fantastic industry links with a range of companies. including Adidas, Bentley, BMW, Bosch, BP, Coca Cola, Dyson, E.ON, Ford, GSK, Mercedes-Benz, Pirelli, Puma, Rolls-Royce, Siemens, Thorntons and Unilever to name a few.

Accreditation
