Description

  • Type

    Master

  • Duration

    3 Semesters

Our course will help you take your career forward in a progressive area of engineering. It balances advanced theory with technical skills so that you can learn to develop complete operational robotics and autonomous systems.

You’ll explore robotics engineering and software, autonomous systems technologies, processes and products throughout the industry value chain. Other areas you'll cover include computational intelligence, machine learning, embedded systems and sensors.

Your studies will focus on tackling engineering challenges using whole-systems approaches. We’ll give you the tools to analyse and evaluate the impact of resources, processes and products. You’ll consider stakeholder needs and factors such as technical, economic, environmental and social. The focus on practical learning makes sure you have the skills to design and build robotic platforms and autonomous systems, using the same systems as those used in industry.

About this course

Learn the essential skills and techniques needed to develop robotics, autonomous systems, and embedded artificial intelligence.

You’ll graduate with the skills to innovate and deliver resource-efficient practices and solutions for robotic and autonomous systems. Your knowledge will prepare you for a career in the engineering sector or for further postgraduate study and research.

You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a high 2:2 or above.

To apply for this course, you should have an undergraduate degree in electronic and electrical engineering, automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, vehicle engineering or mechatronics.

If your first language is not English but within the last 2 years you completed your degree in the UK you may be exempt from our English language requirements.
