MSc Mechatronic Systems Engineering

at Middlesex University

• The course comprises three academic terms, each spanning 12 weeks. During the initial term, students will focus on topics such as drives, sensors, controllers, robotic applications, programming techniques, software modelling of mechatronic systems, additive manufacturing technologies, and augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. 
• In the second term, emphasis will be placed on a group project involving the application of knowledge and skills acquired in term one to a systems integration project, alongside studies in machine learning, AI applications in robotics, product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, and Industry 4.0 technologies. 
• The final term will entail an individual project, allowing students to propose their own project or select from a range of projects offered by research centres or industry partners.
