Mechatronics. Which university ?
Hello, I'm an S6 students who's particularly interested in Mechatronic engineering.
There are two universities I have in mind, Strathclyde university and Glasgow university.
At Strathclyde, the course is called "Electrical and Mechanical Engineering", whereas at Glasgow university, they offer a course called "Mechatronics" , which seems to be more specific to the branch I want to study. Strathclyde has a great reputation for its engineering courses, Glasgow university is also very good, so I'm not sure which one to pick. I looked at the course content of both of their courses, they seem to be similar, the difference is, at Strathclyde they give you the choice to choose some of the available classes. At Glasgow, they don't. However, they do offer more specific classes like Robotics which Strathclyde don't offer.
Which university should I go for?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi!
My name is Izzy and I'm a 4th year Mechatronic Engineering student at Lancaster University.
I would recommend looking at the module lists/content for each course and do some research about what they are and if they are of interest to you. As you mentioned, may universities have similar courses but under different names such as Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical with Electrical/Electronics etc, so make sure to use a variety of keywords when searching.
I would also recommend looking at what the university specialises in for research areas. I chose Lancaster University as it had Mechatronic Engineering as a course but Nuclear Engineering as a research area so I was able to do my 3rd year individual project about robots in nuclear environments, a topic area I was thinking of pursuing as a career.
Lancaster University offers Mechanical, Electronic and Electrical, and Mechatronic Engineering (also Nuclear and Chemical) but we have a common first year, all engineering students do the same modules in first year. This allows students to out a range of different engineering and if you change your mind on which discipline you want to do, you have until the end of first year to decide. Many of the coursework projects are multi-displine, so you work alongside the other engineering disciplines to find a solution, just like in industry.
I hope that helps. Best of luck with your application and if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to help!
