MSc
Summary
The UK Government has identified Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) as one of the 8 Great Technologies that support UK industrial strategy. Robotics and autonomous system technologies and industries are growing fast along with the development of artificial intelligence. The way we manufacture, travel, live, work and play is being revolutionised as evidenced by the advent of Industry 4.0 and autonomous driving.
We have developed this MSc course to meet the demand for the corresponding engineering professionals and to maintain UK’s leading position in the sector. RAS involves smart sensors and control systems, vehicle automation and connectivity, robot software, applied industrial robotics, autonomous system design, machine learning and much more.
Designed in collaboration with The Greater Birmingham & Solihull Institute of Technology this course will help you understand and develop in the promising field of robotics and autonomous systems.
How you will learn You’ll undertake a combination of project based work as this course is a good blend of practical and theory. Practical hands-on work is embedded into the curriculum to apply your knowledge to real-world work.
The course modules will be delivered through a mixture of classroom, online and practical projects. There will be a focus on multidisciplinary group work, collaborating with students across engineering disciplines, where the academic will act as a facilitator to enhance your learning through interactive sessions through lab sessions and lectures.
Here at Aston University, we are passionate about supporting our students. You will have a personal tutor throughout your studies to provide support and guidance alongside access to technicians who will support you in design, 3D printing and prototyping. The Learning Development Centre is there to provide maths support, and bespoke academic writing development, advice, and strategies for managing your studies.
What you will learn This programme is designed with the primary focus of embedding robotics and autonomous systems deep within the mindset of those from an engineering or computing background. The main subject areas explored and skills developed throughout the postgraduate programme are:
-
Robot Software
-
Smart Sensors and Control Systems
-
Autonomous System Design
-
Applied Industrial Robotics
-
Machine Learning
-
Vehicle Automation and Connectivity
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You will need to have obtained a second-class Honours Degree from a UK academic organisation or an equivalent overseas degree recognised by Aston University. You must also provide two professional references – at least one must be from an academic referee, and a completed application form. We recognise the value of extensive professional experience. If you do not have the academic qualifications but have extensive and relevant professional experience and a proven ability to succeed, we would welcome your application. The information contained on this website details the typical entry requirements for this course for the most commonly offered qualifications. Applicants with alternative qualifications may wish to enquire with the relevant admissions teams prior to application whether or not their qualifications are deemed acceptable. For less commonly encountered qualifications this will be judged on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the academic admissions tutor. See international student information below for international equivalent information. |
