About this course

Our one-year full-time MSc in Human and Biological Robotics is a wide-ranging course covering robotics for humans and society, service and social robotics, rehabilitation technology, as well as machine vision, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This new Master's course has a unique focus on engineering methods which investigate human and animal sensing and sensorimotor control, and on the design of biomimetic systems and assistive devices for humans. It builds upon the unique strengths of the Department of Bioengineering and the wider College in this new field.  You will be well supported by the Imperial Robotics Forum, which groups together robotics researchers at Imperial doing multidisciplinary research at the cutting edge of several disciplines.  The course is taught by the Department of Bioengineering, where you will spend most of your study time, with additional input from the Departments of Computing, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the Dyson School of Design Engineering, and Aeronautics.

All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include...
