Course summary
Overview
Mechatronics, robotics and autonomous systems represent a range of important technologies which underpin many applications – from manufacturing and automation through to self-driving cars and robotic medical devices.
Delivered by the Schools of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computing, this masters degree programme will equip you with the specialist knowledge and wide range of skills to pursue a career in this dynamic field.
Core modules will give you a foundation in the many applications of mechatronics and robotics and develop your understanding of the wide range of industry sectors that use robotics and mechatronic systems. You will also build research skills with a major project in fields as diverse as robot swarms, sensing and actuation systems, bio-inspired exoskeletons, rehabilitation and surgical robotics.
The diverse optional modules will allow you to focus on topics that suit your interests and career plans, guided by academics whose teaching is informed by their own world-class research.
Accreditation
The MSc is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
Accreditation is the assurance that a university course meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students. For this course, these are the quality standards set by the IET.
Learning and teaching
Our groundbreaking research feeds directly into teaching, and you will have regular contact with staff who are at the forefront of their disciplines through lectures, seminars, tutorials, small group work and project meetings.
