Mechatronics and Autonomous Systems (Hons) Liverpool John Moores University

Overview

Liverpool John Moores University 's Mechatronics and Autonomous Systems (Hons) programme has been developed to answer a need in industry for engineers with the fusion of electronic and mechanical skills required to develop modern automation systems.

LJMU has built a good relationship with North West engineering companies and their feedback has been a big factor in the development of this programme at Liverpool John Moores University. We live in an information age and our graduates leave equipped with the software and hardware skills required to succeed in the exciting times ahead.

Career prospects

Quite literally anywhere in the world. All of industry now uses industrial automation systems, whether the company is involved in manufacturing or process control. Modern automobile production would be impossible without the robots, CNC machines and automated test equipment that make sure the sub-assemblies the human workers bolt together, fit properly and work as intended.

Robotics and autonomous systems are a red-hot topic now, with the move toward self-driving automobiles, which will almost certainly be upon us in the next few years. This will be the biggest change in transport since the invention of the "horseless carriage".
