Mechatronics

Our MSc is designed to provide you with a range of industrial problem solving skills based on Mechatronics, allows you to explore industrial problems using the latest Mechatronics tools available in your current field or field of interest, develop specialist engineering knowledge, and gives an insight into the way an industrial organisation works and the technological challenges it faces every day to remain competitive, maintain its market share, and open a new market. Examples of where a platform solution approach has been successful is with the powertrain, automation, robotics and instrumentation fields. Therefore, our MSc Mechatronics has been designed with the four pathways to ensure graduates meet the crucial and creative skills needed to apply to problem solving and produce inventive and novel solutions for a range of manufacturing environments, products and services. Derby is the home of innovation and a multi-technological city with top international employers that include automotive, aerospace, railway, civil engineering, power generation and distribution, and nuclear engineering, so where better to study Mechatronics. As a technological city hosting major names in this field, engineering skills are in demand for key companies such as Rolls Royce, Alstom, Balfour Beatty, Toyota, JCB, Severn Trent, URS Scott Wilson and Jacobs, with many small supporting companies involved in infrastructure, materials supply, technical consultancy and specialist testing.
