The Masters in Mechatronics is a fusion of mechanical, electrical, electronic and control engineering. Modern industry depends for its success in global markets on its ability to integrate these subjects into both the manufacturing process and innovative products and systems.
- We have developed this programme in consultation with industry – it will provide you with the interdisciplinary approach necessary to achieve the coherent integration of these traditionally divided disciplines.
- You will learn how to apply design synthesis and analysis technique within a coherent range of subjects in mechatronic engineering, utilise specific software tools to support mechatronic system synthesis and analysis activity, and professionally plan, report and present the results of multidisciplinary project activity.
- An extended project is an integral part of the MSc programme: many of these are conducted with industry.
