Mechatronics

The Masters in Mechatronics is a fusion of mechanical, electrical, electronic and control engineering. Modern industry depends for its success in global markets on its ability to integrate these subjects into both the manufacturing process and innovative products and systems.

WHY THIS PROGRAMME

- The University of Glasgow has been delivering world-class engineering education and research since 1840. Mechanical Engineering is a core engineering discipline that has a long history in the University dating back to the 1760s with academic contributors such as James Watt.

- Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Glasgow is ranked in the top 10 in the UK (Complete University Guide 2022).

- Mechanical Engineering at Glasgow is ranked in the top 20 in the UK (Complete University Guide 2022).

- The School of Engineering has extensive contacts with industrial partners who contribute to several of their taught courses through active teaching, curriculum development and panel discussion. Recent contributors in the area of Mechanical Engineering include Babcock, Howdens and Terex.

- You will learn how to apply design synthesis and analysis techniques within a coherent range of subjects in mechatronic engineering.

- You will learn how to utilise specific software tools to support mechatronic system synthesis and analysis activity, and professionally plan, report and present the results of multidisciplinary project activity.

- This programme is in the process of gaining reaccreditation with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

- The school has an Athena Swan Bronze Award, demonstrating the school’s commitment to supporting women in scientific studies and careers, and to improving the working environment for all.

- This programme has a September and January intake for suitably qualified candidates.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Modes of delivery of the MSc in Mechatronics include lectures, seminars and tutorials and allow students the opportunity to take part in lab, project and team work.
