Summary

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary subject covering aspects of mechanics, electrical, electronics and computing, and skillsets in these areas are essential in our advancing industry. Mechatronics provides inclusive, cost-effective and sustainable solutions to problems and designs and develops various intelligent integrated systems of manufacturing environments, products and services.

Our MSc is designed to provide you with a range of industrial problem solving skills based on Mechatronics, allows you to explore industrial problems using the latest Mechatronics tools available in your current field or field of interest, develop specialist engineering knowledge, and gives an insight into the way an industrial organisation works and the technological challenges it faces every day to remain competitive, maintain its market share, and open a new market.

Examples of where a platform solution approach has been successful is with the powertrain, automation, robotics and instrumentation. Therefore, our MSc Mechatronics has been designed with the four pathways to ensure graduates meet the crucial and creative skills needed to apply to problem solving and produce inventive and novel solutions for a range manufacturing environment, products, services. These pathways are:

  • Powertrain

  • Automation

  • Robotics

  • Instrumentation

As a student on this course, you will be exposed to the following concepts:

  • Knowledge relating to acquisition of interrelated concepts, facts and laws related to Mechatronics systems engineering, and technology

  • Intellectual skills relating to the ability to process advanced knowledge and information, being able to make deductions and form conclusions

  • Practical skills that cover a whole range of skills including computer modelling, design, development and manufacturing skills

  • Transferable skills which may be taken into other fields of activity. They are diverse, but include the ability to use advanced quantitative methods, to communicate well in a variety of ways, to work in a team, to work with computers, and to manage other people, processes or organisations.
