MSc in Robotics

About

Robotics is one of the most discussed topics in recent years; robots are becoming ubiquitous in industrial environments as well as in everyday life. However, as the adoption of robotic technology progressively rises, the skill shortage in robotic engineers will also widen accordingly. This Robotics MSc course will offer students the opportunity to gain practical robot programming experience.

Who is it for?

As the demand for robotics engineers is increasing, this MSc has been developed for graduates to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge required for associated careers. The course is suitable for those with essential engineering mathematics knowledge and basic computer programming skills.

A unique experience of the breadth of the field of robotics providing students with not only a broad understanding of their uses and applications in modern society but also the fundamental science behind them.

Why this course?

Robotics technologies are being increasingly adopted across various industries. These include automotive, oil and gas, aerospace and energy, as well as potential significant future growth in the service robot domain. This course will improve the employment prospects of students by providing them with relevant theoretical knowledge and practical skills to become robotics engineers and experts in robotics, and to meet the rising global demands. It is unique in its focus on human aspects supported by practical applications.

This master's course provides insight into multiple application domains for intelligent and autonomous robot systems including industry, hazardous environments, health care, domestic/assistive robotics and autonomous vehicles.

We are very well located for visiting part-time students from all over the world, and offer a range of library and support facilities to support your studies. This enables students from all over the world to complete this qualification whilst balancing work/life commitments.This MSc programme benefits from a wide range of cultural backgrounds which significantly enhances the learning experience for both staff and students.

Informed by industry

The course is directed by an Industrial Advisory Panel who meet twice a year to ensure that it provides the right mix of hands-on skills and up-to-date knowledge suitable for to the wide variety of applications that this field addresses.

A number of members also attend the annual student thesis presentations which take place at the end of July, a month or so before the end of the course. This provides a good opportunity for students to meet key employers.

Our industrial partner, ABB Robotics, will deliver practical workshops at their state-of-the-art Milton Keynes training facility.
