Course content

The rise of robotic intelligence is reshaping our world. From transport to healthcare to manufacturing, organisations are discovering ways to improve task delivery and solve complex challenges. Join the revolution with our MSc Robotics and Automation postgraduate degree.

Providing a strong foundation in control engineering and intelligent systems concepts, this practical and relevant course is recommended for industry professional and engineering-based graduates seeking to develop specialist knowledge and build a robotics-focused skillset.

Available with full-time and part-time study paths, course content will broaden your understanding of what robotics can do. You will examine control technology and practices, and explore virtual reality systems. As you progress, you will look at artificial intelligence and see how this is applied in the development of mobile robotics.

You will:

  • Critically review current autonomous intelligent robots as you gain practical experience with techniques, including fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks
  • Gain a firm grounding in control engineering and intelligent systems concepts as you explore the technology used to develop virtual reality applications
  • Complete a research project in our robotics laboratories supported by an internationally-renowned academic team and research centre
