MSc Mechatronics and Automation

Robots and automated machines can work 24 hours a day, in hazardous places and are much more accurate and consistent than any human. The exciting world of mechatronics and automation engineering has the important task of bringing these machines to life, maintaining them, fixing them when they malfunction and designing and building new models.Mechatronics and automation is becoming an increasingly important discipline in today’s digital society. Consumers and society have benefited tremendously from new products which have been designed applying mechatronic principles. These intelligent products include:mobile phones with mechatronic featuresintelligent robotic vacuum cleanersintelligent wheelchairsThe course is aimed at:graduates from relevant courses, who wish to study mechatronics and automation as their chosen careerthose currently working in mechatronics and automation who wish to enhance their theoretical grounding and practical skills

Normally a first-class or second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in a science or engineering discipline.
