The Mechatronics Engineering programme is characterised by three fundamental aspects.

The first is the multidisciplinary approach: students build their education through teaching experiences focused on innovative and strategic content. Here, industrial technologies merge with information technologies, creating the basis for a modern and competitive industry.

The second aspect is the close link between teaching and research. The lecturers involved are actively involved in scientific and industrial projects with national and international partners. This direct link provides students with a contemporary cultural environment and the opportunity to participate in study experiences, including abroad, that meet their different educational needs and aptitudes.

Finally, the course is characterised by the use of innovative teaching methods. Project-based courses, laboratories, simulation tools and student challenges are just some of the tools used to promote active learning. With an excellent student/faculty ratio, the course offers an educational opportunity that puts the student at the centre and values his or her participation and involvement.

With your Master's degree in Mechatronics Engineering, you will be able to 

• Conceptualise, plan, design and manage advanced mechatronic systems, 
• Effectively manage the interactions and synergies between different technologies to improve the outcome

In the first year you will acquire the tools necessary to understand, model, design, simulate and control an intelligent mechanical system.

In the second year, you will complete your training by choosing one of the various curricula, where you will consolidate the most innovative tools and methods used by engineers in the different strategic areas of mechatronics. You will specialise in 

• Innovative mechanics and related design, test and control tools
• Robotics, from enabling technologies to industrial applications
• Intelligent vehicles, from autonomous driving to advanced transport systems
• Autonomous and intelligent systems, integrating entrepreneurship and innovation management.

Upon graduation, you will be able to  

• develop an overview of the mechatronic system, its functional subsystems and interfaces, and define their critical requirements
• Apply the main methods and techniques for the design, development, production and management of advanced cyber-physical systems.
• Use the tools to update knowledge and promote innovation in existing technologies. 

The course is characterised by the use of innovative teaching methods. In addition to classroom teaching, you will do: 

• Project courses;
• Student challenges;
• Workshops; 
• Seminars; 
• internships.
