About this course
Robotics is a growing field encompassing many technologies with tremendous opportunities for research and development both in industry and in academia, and with diverse applications across different industrial sectors spanning manufacturing, security, mining, design, transport, exploration and healthcare. Graduates from our MRes programme will will have project-focused experience and knowledge in robotics and the underpinning computational and analytical fundamentals. These skills will position graduates to be well placed to undertake PhD studies or industrial research and development in robotics and computational research specific to robotics but translational across different analytical disciplines, or applied fields that will be influenced by new robotic technologies and capabilities.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard in a highly quantitative subject such as computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, or the physical sciences. Students should also have some experience with a programming language such as C/C++, Jave, Python or Matlab. Appropriate industrial experience may also be considered.

Course programme
The programme teaches students the essentials of robotic and computational tools for robotics and autonomous systems. The key aim of the principal project thesis is to cultivate a deep understanding of robotics research, with a particular focus on a specific research topic in robotics and autonomous systems.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of one core module (15 credits), two to three optional modules (30 to 45 credits), up to two elective modules (30 credits), and a dissertation/report (105 credits).
Core modules- Robotic Systems Engineering (15 credits)
Students must choose a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 45 credits from Optional modules. Students must also choose a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 30 credits from Electives.
- Robotic Control Theory and Systems (15 credits)
- Robotic Sensing, Manipulation and Interaction (15 credits)
- Robotic Vision and Navigation (15 credits)
Please note: the availability and delivery of modules may vary, based on your selected options.
Dissertation/report
All students undertake an independent research project which culminates in a dissertation of 30,000 words.
Teaching and learningTeaching is delivered by lectures, tutorials, practical sessions, projects and seminars. Assessment is through examination, individual and group projects and presentations, and design exercices.
