MATLAB Training

There are multiple places to get MATLAB Training.

  • Direct from MATLAB via self-paced courses, pre-recorded webinars, live webinars or in-person courses. 
  • From University IT Services
  • From Department of Engineering Science

Further details on each of these below.

MATLAB Academy - Free Online Courses

As part of the campus-wide license, everyone at the University has access to MATLAB Academy, an online training suite of different courses. They are self-paced and cover a wide range of topics and MATLAB functionality. They are beneficial for all levels of user. To access the training for free, you must use your MathWorks account which has been linked with the University license (available via the link above).

Examples of available courses are shown below.

For beginners, we recommend the short starter course called MATLAB Onramp. It is self-paced and allows you to learn MATLAB in your browser through a mix of interactive exercises with videos and notes. There is around 2 hours of content and it is free to all users.

MathWorks Webinars


MathWorks, creators of MATLAB, run many webinars for free online. They are a good way to learn about the different specific toolboxes and features you might not have explored in MATLAB. 

Training by University IT Services

If you would prefer face-to-face training, the University IT Services runs a paid course called Matlab: First Steps.

 

Half Day Courses run by Engineering Science

There are resources available from some short half-day courses by Eric Peasley and Izzi Mear that can be used as self-paced learning.
