Our BEng Mechatronic Systems program (including foundation year) welcomes both Home and EU students. This option is ideal if you don't currently meet the entry criteria for the standard three-year course and seek a curriculum that enhances both your technical understanding and academic English proficiency.
This four-year program begins with a foundational Year Zero, followed by three additional years of specialized study. Your initial year covers four subject-specific modules alongside essential English language and academic skills training.
From enrollment, you'll join Essex's worldwide student body at the UK's most internationally diverse campus university.
Upon completing Year Zero through our Essex Pathways Department, you'll advance to the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering for the remainder of your degree.
Mechatronics integrates mechanical engineering, electronics, computing, automation, and robotics. As a mechatronic engineer, you'll design, build, and test innovative devices combining these fields. The program teaches engineering methodologies, product development, digital electronics, and CAD tools, equipping you to transform conceptual mechatronic systems into functional prototypes.

Qualification Requirements
All applications for degree courses with a foundation year (Year Zero) will be considered individually, whether you
think you might not have the grades to enter the first year of a degree course;
have non-traditional qualifications or experience (e.g. you haven’t studied A-levels or a BTEC);
are returning to university after some time away from education; or
are looking for more support during the transition into university study.
Standard offer:
Our standard offer is 72 UCAS tariff points from at least two full A-levels, or equivalent.
Examples of the above tariff may include:
A-levels: DDD
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: MMP
T-levels: Pass with E in core
For this course all applicants must also hold GCSE Maths and Science at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent). We may be able to consider a pass in Level 2 Functional Skills Maths where you cannot meet the requirements for Maths at GCSE level. However, you are advised to try to retake GCSE Mathematics if possible as this will better prepare you for university study and future employment.
