Programme Overview

The aim of this programme is to give engineering and science graduates a good grounding in mechatronics design and practice. The programme provides an integrated approach to mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, control systems and computing, which will enable graduates to work effectively in an interdisciplinary engineering environment.

This programme is suited to postgraduate students with a background in Engineering and Science, and aims to provide them with the key knowledge and skills which will enable them to work in an interdisciplinary environment that integrates Mechanical and Electronic Engineering with Computing and Control. Furthermore the programme allows highly competitive local and national industries to recruit good engineering postgraduates who have multidisciplinary skills, appropriate to the requirements of modern manufacturing technologies.
