Introduction
Our MSc programme in Robotics is designed for graduates from a broad range of backgrounds including Computer Science, Physics, and Engineering. Throughout the course, you will explore topics such as intelligent automation, mechatronic and embedded systems, and robot vision.
The rapid growth in the use of robotic systems in industrial, commercial and domestic contexts has created a worldwide shortage of experts in this fast-moving field.
Delivered in partnership with the Schools of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, our MSc programme in Robotics offers you the opportunity to study how you can use software and AI to control a robotic platform and how they are physically designed and constructed.
Our broad syllabus will provide you with a well-rounded skillset that enables you to understand the behaviour of the software, sensing and articulation elements of the system, and to deliver optimised overall performance against the tasks being carried out.
