MSc Mechatronics & Automation

The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow is inviting applications for its MSc Mechatronics and Automation course starting in September 2023.

Robots and automated machines can work 24 hours a day, in hazardous places and are much more accurate and consistent than any human. The exciting world of mechatronics and automation engineering has the important task of bringing these machines to life, maintaining them, fixing them when they malfunction and designing and building new models.

Mechatronics and automation are becoming an increasingly important discipline in today’s digital society. Consumers and society have benefited tremendously from new products which have been designed applying mechatronic principles. These intelligent products include:

• mobile phones with mechatronic features
• intelligent robotic vacuum cleaners
• intelligent wheelchairs

The course is aimed at: graduates from relevant courses, who wish to study mechatronics and automation as their chosen career those currently working in mechatronics and automation who wish to enhance their theoretical grounding and practical skills

What you’ll study

You’ll take a combination of compulsory classes, three optional classes and a group project; MSc students also undertake an individual project.

The course will train you to:

• lead mechatronic and automation product development
• contribute as team members to future mechatronic product development
• provide expertise as mechatronic ‘specialists’

Industrial experience

In the group projects, you’ll work with fellow students and an industrial client to address a practical problem. You’ll gain direct industry experience to add to your CV, develop skills, manage a project through to completion and practice working in a multidisciplinary group, preparing you for collaborative work throughout your future career.

Examples of major projects include:

•  Haptic Sensing & Display for Telepresence, VR and Design – an investigation and design of simple haptic sensing and display system
• Periscopic & Flexible Camera Extension – design and building of a camera or camera extension.

Eligibility- Normally a first-class or second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in a science or engineering discipline. IELTS (Academic): 6.5 overall (no individual band less than 5.5)

Fee- £24,450 for international students for 2023/ 24
