For Bachelor in Mechatronic Engineering, the application deadline for the Sep 2026 intake is Aug 31, 2026, and tuition fees are 19,158 USD per year.

From mastering mobile robotics in the third year to simulating complex mechatronic systems in the final year, this programme immerses students in the high-stakes intersection of mechanical precision and electronic intelligence. Designed for those who want to build the robots, automated machinery, and connected devices of tomorrow, the course bridges the gap between physical mechanics and the digital control systems that bring them to life.

Students develop a versatile skillset that encompasses 3D modelling, circuit design, software development, and machine learning. A key differentiator is the intense focus on project-based learning, ensuring that the theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom is immediately applied to real-world engineering challenges. The curriculum also integrates business-oriented modules, preparing graduates not just to build machines, but to understand the enterprise and management contexts in which they operate.

Integrated Professional Experience

The programme features a mandatory six-month INTRA work placement (extendable to ten months for those pursuing the integrated masters), providing students with substantial industry exposure. This hands-on approach is supported by a faculty that prioritizes the interplay between moving parts and advanced sensors, ensuring graduates are prepared for high-demand roles in sectors ranging from aerospace and agri-machinery to automated manufacturing.
