Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: HH77

Here's what University of Liverpool says about its Mechatronics and Robotic Systems with a Year Abroad course.

This programme includes a Year Abroad. The Year Abroad will allow you to study at one of our partner universities around the world, following a mixture of culture and discipline-related modules.

This MEng (Hons) degree programme has more depth and breadth than the BEng (Hons) programme in Mechatronics and Robotic Systems, studying core subjects, such as advanced system modelling and control, in more detail and a greater range of subjects. In addition to the individual final year project, you will also undertake a major group project in the third year. If you are not sure if you wish to take a BEng (Hons) or an MEng (Hons) degree then we advise that you apply for the MEng and make a final decision at the end of Year Two.

This programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

First and second year I felt was inadequate when it comes to this. However third year things appear clearer and I see support everywhere from my course, lecturers, library and guild. The support provided can flourish when no other factors are in the way such as Covid and strikes

Amazing so many opportunities but I am only really aware of them now in my final year. I wish things were ran better during my first and second year as I felt I missed out. The library is very helpful and we have a student guild which provides food drink and social space
