Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] [Cultural and Global Criminology] From University of Kent

At The University of Hull studying the BEng Mechatronics and Robotics will transform the way we live and work. Self-scanning tills are taken for granted. Drones are being used to deliver life-saving medicines to remote areas of the world. Unmanned robots are increasingly being used in hazardous or inaccessible areas. And, while the demand for expertise in this field is booming, the UK lacks sufficient numbers of qualified people. This exciting, hands-on degree will give you the knowledge and skills to create intelligent systems that will benefit a wide range of industries, and open up a wealth of career opportunities.ÊMechatronics and robotics combines electronics and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computing.

Future Prospects

Mechatronics and robotics are present in almost every industry and aspect of modern life, creating a wealth of career opportunities for graduates. You could be helping to develop the latest technology, from driverless cars, to drones, unmanned aircraft and space vehicles, to automated production lines and technology-assisted clothing.

Experts in the field can go on to team leadership roles because they have the skills to integrate several areas of engineering and computer science, rather than specialise in just one. Typical roles include: design engineer, research and development specialist, or systems engineer.Ê
