Program Overview

Mechatronics Engineering Program

The Mechatronics Engineering program at the Universitŕ degli Studi Roma "Tor Vergata" is a two-year Master of Science program that requires 120 credits to complete.

Program Structure

The program is divided into several blocks, each with its own set of courses and requirements. Students must select one block, A, B, C1, C2, D, or E, according to their academic background.

• Block A Thermo Mechanics: Dedicated to students with a background in Electronic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering with a background in Electronics, or similar fields.
• Block B Electronics: Dedicated to students with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering with a background in Mechanics, or similar fields.
• Block C Mechatronic Systems and ICT: Divided into two sub-blocks, C1 and C2, dedicated to students with a background in Engineering Sciences, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or similar fields.
• Block D Computational Methods: Conceived for students who want to acquire advanced mathematical skills and computing capabilities.
• Block E Electromechanics: Conceived for students who want to cover the main aspects of mechanics and electronics exclusively.
