About this course
Master of Engineering in Mechatronic Engineering, a mechanical engineering and robotics engineering degree focused on advanced systems and machine development. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. This four-year master's programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology to fully meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer, and shares a curriculum with the corresponding three-year bachelor's degree while adding an advanced fourth year of study. The first year covers foundational engineering through compulsory modules such as Circuits, Digital Systems, and Programming, alongside practical laboratory work and mathematical foundations. The second year progresses into specialised topics with compulsory study in Control and Systems Engineering, Electrical Machines and Drives, and Programming and Modelling Mechatronic Systems. The third year continues the core technical education through modules including Mechanical Power Transmission and Vibration alongside the Part III Individual Project Phase 1 and Part III Individual Project Phase 2. Students can further tailor their studies in later stages by selecting from numerous optional modules spanning areas such as automotive chassis design, power electronics, and intelligent mobile robotics. The final year culminates in intensive collaborative work through the Group Design Project, alongside options for advanced study in specialist topics and an individual research project.
