About the programme

The mechatronics engineer integrates knowledge from various frameworks – mechanics, electronics, automation, information technologies – needed to fully master the modern intelligent mechanical systems, powered by perceptive and cognitive skills, which enable an effective interaction with the environment.

The educational approach of the Master’s degree is inspired by the most recent development trends of the technological evolution enabling the digitalisation of the manufacturing industry and services, with disruptive transformation of the design, production, marketing and dismission of goods.

The velocity, intensity and pervasiveness of this process is such as to be considered the fourth industrial revolution, often referred to as Industry4.0.

The Master’s degree aims at providing the knowledge which enables the leadership of this fast and deep evolutionary process.

The course is organized in three curricula:

  • Intelligent vehicles.
  • Mechanics
  • Electronics and Robotics

Career opportunities

The Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering aims at shaping competitive mechatronics engineers, which are increasingly demanded in the areas of innovation of products and production systems, intelligent mechanics, advanced design, planning, and management of manufacturing processes and complex systems.

Students who have graduated with an MSc in Mechatronics Engineering are in great demand for a variety of careers from manufacturing industries (for example, specializing in high-tech products), basic and applied research, engineering firms, consulting and services companies, business units at the level of corporate responsibility (for example, in production, logistics, quality control, marketing, etc.), and public institutions.

The Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering has been tailored to allow students to embark upon an international post-graduate level study; the Ph.D. programs offered at the University of Trento include Mechatronics Engineering and Control.
