Undergraduate student profiles

See what our undergraduate students have to say about their Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees.

Fredrik Rentsch with employers

I wanted to experience how engineers worked and put what I had learnt in ACSE into practice.

Fredrik Rentsch Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng

I'm Fredrik and I undertook my Year in Industry at at Intek Engineering in Raufoss, Norway.

I chose ACSE, as it provided a blend of different engineering subjects, but was very specialised.

Joanna Jones Systems and Control Engineering BEng

Hi, my name is Joanna and I’m currently doing a BEng Systems and Control Engineering at ACSE. I chose this course, as I really enjoyed maths and physics, but wanted it to be more applied.

Angel, student in ACSE

That was the first time I really felt like this was what I wanted to do. This is engineering. This is mechatronics

Angel Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year MEng

My name's Angel, I'm 21 years old. I study mechatronic engineering and I grew up in France. I came to the UK around GCSE time and I just never left!

Khaleed Saad

Khaled Saad

Khaled Saad Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng

Initially, Khaled Saad didn’t apply to University. It was only when his grades came out on results day, he was encouraged to apply through clearing.

Jake Roskilly

ACSE has enabled me to look at everyday objects differently and given me a view towards solving the problems of the future.

Jake Roskilly Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng

I joined the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering (ACSE) in 2015 and am currently in my final year of study on the Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng. It has provided me with insight into the physical dynamics of a range of systems from biological to digital.

Rachae Rix in the Control Lab

I really enjoy being an engineering student as I get to find out how systems work and how things are put together.

Rachael Rix Systems and Control Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng

I decided to do systems and control engineering at university because I did an A-level on it. When I was looking around at universities I was originally looking for electrical and electronics and I came to a University of 91Ö±²¥ open day and found the systems and control information desk.

Working on a project from start to finish was really satisfying and enjoyable

Srijith Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year MEng

Srijith is studying Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering with a Year in Industry MEng. This degree can be studied as a three year BEng or a four year MEng. It can also be studied with a Year in Industry or a study abroad year.

In 91Ö±²¥ we have one of the largest, if not the largest, Automatic and Control departments in the UK

Seif Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng

Seif is currently studying a Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering MEng. You can study this degree as a three year BEng or a four year MEng. You can also chose to add a Year in Industry or study abroad.
