Location of Edinburgh Napier University
Mechatronics has seen a massive growth recently. It is used in every day objects like CD players, cameras and washing machines as well as in cutting edge robotic technology such as interplanetary explorers.
This course aims to provide you with an advanced understanding of and expertise in the mechatronics skills that are in high demand from employers. You will learn to design products and processes effectively with a focus on quality, functionality, speed and reliability. You will learn to apply your engineering skills to practical engineering situations in automation and product design using the most up to date industry standard equipment and software.
Skills
You will learn to understand mathematical methods and broad engineering science concepts, then apply these to the design and development of a microprocessor-based product or process. You will also gain advanced skills in design techniques, components and systems, computer aided engineering and modelling techniques.
Career Prospects
As Edinburgh's top university for Graduate Employability (HESA 2010) and one of the top in the UK for Graduate Prospects (The Independent and The Times University Guides for 2009), we can offer you a valuable head-start in your chosen career.
Due to a skills shortage in this area of engineering, you can expect to be offered a wide choice of employment prospects, in areas such as:
* project management
* automation systems
* control system design
* process design
* product design
* embedded systems design.
Contents
Based over one year, the course will involve lectures, tutorials and independent study.

IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
Take testRequirements
An Honours degree in Engineering discipline (inc. Software Engineering). An Honours degree Physical Science/Technology if supported by relevant work experience or an Ordinary degree (in required discipline) plus relevant experience will be considered.
English Language Requirements
If English is not your first language, you´ll need to provide evidence that you can read, write, speak and understand English satisfactorily. For most courses, in additional to satisfying the standard entry requirements, we normally require international students (check) to demonstrate their English ability through an English language test, usually IELTS (International English Language Testing System), or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language).
Courses require an IELTS score of 6.0, which is equivalent to ToEFL 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based) or 79-80 (internet-based).
