Overview

During the Mechatronics Engineering program at University of Melbourne will help you develop advanced mechatronics engineering skills, guided by experts in automation and control. You’ll be learning from researchers who have worked on robots with a human touch, rehabilitation robotics, data-driven learning for dynamic systems and optimising smart grids.

In your first year (or equivalent) you’ll complete foundation engineering subjects – tailored to students from a non-engineering background. If you’ve completed the Mechatronics Systems major in your bachelor’s degree, plus the required maths and science subjects, you’ll receive credit for these foundation engineering subjects and start in second year.

In the second and third year of the program (or equivalent), you’ll focus on your chosen engineering discipline. You’ll undertake an industry, design or research project and gain the skills and knowledge to practice as a professional engineer.
