Note:   Specialisations in the Mechatronic Engineering Stream

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisations should select 'Mechatronic Stream Electives'. Students may like to initially select the Stream Electives option and choose a specialisation after their first year.

  • stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Mechatronic Engineering, such as Robotics and Intelligent Systems.
  • breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Mechatronic Engineering in areas such as Engineering Data Science or Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you opt to take a breadth specialisation, it takes the place of your free electives.


You have a few specialisation combinations to choose from in the Mechatronic Stream:
  • 1 stream specialisation [24cp] + stream or free electives [12cp] or
  • 1 breadth specialisations [24cp] + stream electives [12cp] (no free electives) or
  • Stream electives [12 to 36cp] + free electives [0 to 24cp] (no specialisation option)

Dalyell Scholars Program

Students in the Dalyell Scholars program can review the Dalyell Canvas page for information on fitting the program into their degree:

https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/7156/pages/enrolment-options-for-dalyell-scholars

Advanced units in Maths and Science

Most units of study offered by the Science Faculty on the list of core requirements can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level unit; subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from their department before enrolling.
