IMEE (Bath) vs Mechatronics (Birmingham)

Hi everyone, I am an international student in my final year of high school and I'll be going to uni next year. I'd initially planned on studying mechanical engineering because I was unsure about what I wanted to do after uni but now I feel its better to do something like IMEE or mechatronics so that I have a wider skill set and having knowledge of electrical engineering would allow me to know about automation which would help me out. However now I feel mechatronics is a rather dilute program without really being able to specialise in anything. On top of this I'd like a 50/50 or a more mech focused split between elec and mech however IMEE at bath seems to have just 2 modules in their entire 4 year program common with their mech Eng program which is making me question it. I do know however that after uni I'd like to work outside the UK and I'm not sure if I'll be continuing in the engineering sector. Could anyone please help me decide between IMEE mechatronics or just regular mech Eng? Thank you very much.
