Industry 4.0 (Fourth Industrial Revolution) is the confluence of cyber-physical systems that are reshaping most sectors including the maritime sector. Autonomous technology is poised to transform the sector. Crewless vessels are now under development. It's already possible to explore the most extreme oceanic environments using autonomous and robotic systems. It's time for the maritime industry to understand how autonomous systems will shape the sector and how best to exploit them.

This new programme aims to address an identified market need for a postgraduate qualification that is relevant to the maritime industry and which develops skills and knowledge in autonomy and IT technologies used in the sector.

This course is designed for graduates in naval architecture, mechanical engineering, marine engineering and related disciplines who want to gain advanced knowledge of autonomous marine technology.

Study with us

• For graduates in naval architecture, mechanical engineering, marine engineering and related disciplines who want to gain advanced knowledge of autonomous marine technology
• Benefit from excellent teaching facilities: departmental racing yacht, hydrodynamics lab, wave flume tank, marine engine laboratory, hydrogen fuel cell laboratory, and more

Robots and automated machines can work 24 hours a day, in hazardous places and are much more accurate and consistent than any human. The exciting world of mechatronics and automation engineering has the important task of bringing these machines to life, maintaining them, fixing them when they malfunction and designing and building new models.

Mechatronics and automation is becoming an increasingly important discipline in today’s digital society. Consumers and society have benefited tremendously from new products which have been designed applying mechatronic principles. These intelligent products include:

• Mobile phones with mechatronic features
• Intelligent robotic vacuum cleaners
• Intelligent wheelchairs

The course is aimed at:

• Graduates from relevant courses, who wish to study mechatronics and automation as their chosen career
• Those currently working in mechatronics and automation who wish to enhance their theoretical grounding and practical skills

Study with us

• Gain knowledge and skills to develop multidisciplinary products with an integrated approach
• Benefit from the facilities of our digital design and manufacture studio and prototype workshops
• Contribute to future mechatronic product development

What do 3D TV, digital cameras, smartphones, the iPad and sports instant replay have in common? They're all examples of technology which have been developed combining skills from both computer science and electronic engineering.

These subjects have become increasingly intertwined in recent years, so there's a need for engineers with the ability to create and embed intelligence into the products and systems of the future.

Our course is one of the few UK degrees with triple accreditation from the IET, BCS and Science Council.
