Employability

Engineering is a growth industry and currently, there is a shortage of qualified engineers in the UK. Our mechatronics engineering program is unique, as there is a strong emphasis on professional life and employability skills, embedded throughout all aspects of your technical course focusing on your enhanced key skills such as communication, digital proficiency, intelligence (like emotional and social), and teamwork.
Offering a placement year as well, you will be based at the waterfront Docklands campus, a dynamic part of London within close proximity of the government and policy-making institutions and professional engineering companies. The program is designed to meet the increasing demand (national and international) for mechatronics engineering professionals requiring technical skills in sustainable, integrated, and intelligent systems for Industry 4.0. As a graduate of our mechatronics program, you will be able to design, build, operate and manage successfully the sophisticated and complex interfaces characterizing existing and new systems.
