Mechatronics MSc

University of Glasgow

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. 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. The school has an Athena Swan Silver Award, demonstrating the school’s commitment to supporting women in scientific studies and careers, and to improving the working environment for all. This programme is in the process of gaining reaccreditation with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.Career opportunities include manufacturing production systems system design and manufacture product engineering and manufacture. Graduates of this programme have gone on to positions such as Senior Software Engineer.
