Overview
Students will develop a range of modern methods, including Quality Function Deployment (QFD), for design, development, and, more generally, management of the entire life cycle of new industrial products, which are composed of a physical-mechanical base integrated with automation technologies and new materials, and their related development and manufacturing resources, tools, and processes (Concurrent Engineering). On these grounds, students acquire the ability to create new industrial products of mechanical/mechatronic type and beyond the simple industrial implementation.
The Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering is particularly addressed to students who demonstrate a thorough grounding in scientific disciplines (e.g. Mathematics, Physics) and basic knowledge in Industrial Engineering.
Program Overview
The Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering is a two-year full-time program taught in English.
Overall, students will be provided with a global system-level view of the design of mechanical systems and will acquire the ability to understand the impact of new technologies on products and production systems as well as managerial skills to organize projects with a complete view of the entire life cycle of products.
The Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering is designed to respond to the expanding demand of highly-qualified professionals who efficiently deal with the development of new products and new concepts, periodic and increasingly frequent renewal of existing product lines, renewal of methods and technologies of production, and related capital goods for production.
Curriculum
The Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering consists of 120 ECTS–credits for a two-year program. Students will undertake to demand full-time learning activities: attendance at lectures is strongly recommended. All courses are taught in English.The educational offer is organized in 3 Curricula:
- Mechanics,
- Electronics and Robotics
- Intelligence Vehicles.
Credits required to complete the Master’s degree program in Mechatronics Engineering: 120 ECTS
Notes: according to Sorbonne (1988) and the Bologna (1999) declarations university-level study programs in the European Higher Education Area are structured in university credits (ECTS). A university credit corresponds to 25 hours of student workload, time for personal preparation included. The annual average workload for a full-time student is conventionally fixed at 60 credits.
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.Programme Structure

Scholarships for non-EU Citizens living abroad
Top-scored candidates will be entitled to receive a UniTrento scholarship. Students that benefit from a UniTrento scholarship will also have the tuition fees waived.Scholarships for EU Citizens and Non-EU citizens regularly living in Italy
Scholarships are based on income/merit. Information on the tuition fees and ISEE index (economic index of your family financial situation) are available on the Infostudenti UniTrento web page. Please note that if you do not want to calculate the ISEE index, you will have to pay the maximum tuition amount. Once the ISEE has been calculated, eligible students can apply for the Opera Universitaria scholarship starting from June/July.Studyportals Tip: Students can search online for independent or external scholarships that can help fund their studies. Check the scholarships to see whether you are eligible to apply. Many scholarships are either merit-based or needs-based.
