MEng Mechatronics and Autonomous Systems

Liverpool John Moores University MEng Mechatronics and Autonomous Systems is an integrated master's degree that combines mechanical, electronic and control engineering. The program helps to meet the engineering demands in the industry with a combination of skills in developing modern systems of automation, from robots building cars and interactive kiosks. The curriculum is developed with input from North West engineering companies to make sure graduates have software and hardware skills. The course has a sandwich year with an industrial placement or a study abroad option and is set to be accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Well-equipped electronics and computing laboratories with state-of-the-art software and an excellent level of technical support are available in the course. Students’ progress is assessed through exams, coursework work and a portfolio of work, with a final year project which takes a large value in the final grading. Tutors offer constructive and timely feedback through the virtual learning environment, either in-person or in writing, to enable their students to realise their areas of strength and areas that require more work.
