Course content
Our Automation and Control MSc is a multidisciplinary course that prepares you for a career as a design or development engineer in control and automated systems.
About this course
This course will provide you with a broad coverage of all of the major disciplines in automation and control. It will also prepare you for a career in a a wide range of industrial sectors.
Our MSc is designed for both practising professionals and new graduates in electrical and electronic engineering and other related engineering disciplines.
You will learn through innovative educational techniques designed to equip you with practical design skills and research methodologies - crucial for industry and further research studies (PhD).
The MSc provides an advanced education that includes:
- a focus on fundamentals in automation
- control and practical application in industry
Core learning includes:
