Mechatronic Systems

Advertisement

Mechatronic devices are increasingly important in the twenty-first century - whether in healthcare and rehabilitation (for intelligent prosthetic devices, for example) or in the design of home appliances and personal electronic devices.

This programme is reviewed by an industrial panel, including National Instruments; Thales; Cadence; Texas Instruments; NXP; Atmel; and industrial bodies such as The IET, SEMTA and RAeS.

What will you study?

This cross-discipline course - delivered by the Faculties of Engineering; Computing, Information Systems and Mathematics; and Science - gives you an enhanced view of the subject, whilst benefiting from the input of experts in each particular area. You can choose to focus on mechatronic design, mechatronic software, or mechatronic systems and management.

It is an applied, hands-on programme and is taught in the University's state-of-the art multidisciplinary laboratories, using equipment from National Instruments and Agilent Technology. You will also have the opportunity to undertake research and an industry-relevant dissertation project.
