Course content

MSc Robotics with Industrial Application will provide you with advanced knowledge of the core elements of modern robotics and autonomous systems in Year 1, and the opportunity to implement your knowledge in Year 2 with an industrial work placement or interdisciplinary research project linked to industry.

Our well-established masters programme in Robotics will prepare you for rewarding careers in industries where robots can be used to improve productivity, transform transportation, work in extreme environments, and improve quality of life.

On MSc Robotics with Industrial Application, you will:

  • be introduced to core robotics techniques, from basic kinematics to robot control, robot navigation, robot planning and human-robot interactions
  • receive an extensive training in robot programming (especially ROS) and practical implementation of solutions on real robots
  • apply skills in various applications through major robotics projects, relevant to research and industry, and involving systems such as autonomous robots (cars, subsea vehicles), humanoid robots, advanced manipulators for compliant control and novel robot designs
  • obtain access to staff from leading research groups to mentor their development and guide their research projects

This programme offers flexibility in the optional courses you study, allowing you to specialise in specific areas of robotics and autonomous systems.
