Summary
*Learn how to design and develop autonomous systems, embedded artificial intelligence and robotics, using tools and techniques found in industry. *
Our master’s is for graduates with backgrounds in electronic, electrical, or mechanical engineering or related areas looking for careers working in robotics. Combining engineering principles and advanced theory with practical application, you’ll explore robotics engineering, robotics software, machine learning, and autonomy.
With a focus on project work and practical learning, you’ll learn how to solve complex engineering problems. You’ll use industry-standard platforms, tools, and software to give you hands-on experience and develop skills valuable to working in the sector. You’ll also think about your stakeholders’ needs and wider factors such as technical, economic, environmental, and social. This whole-systems approach helps you understand how to design and implement effective robotics and autonomous systems.
**Key benefits**
- Project-based learning: get hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and sustainable design practices.
- Industry engagement: study a course that draws on our partnerships with industry to make sure content reflects sector needs
- Professional growth: develop skills for your career such as problem-solving, teamwork, communications, leadership, and analytical capabilities.
- Shape your degree: complete your studies with the choice between a research project or group consultancy project with industry.
**Learn from experts in the field**
You’ll learn from academics in our Departments of Computer Science, Electronic & Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Your learning experience will benefit from their expertise in our Centre for Autonomous Robotics (CENTAUR), where they are advancing research and building international collaborations in this area.
**Use specialist facilities**
Project work gives you access to facilities and workshops in our departments of Electronic & Electrical, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering. These cover a range of areas including:
- rapid prototyping (3D printers, laser cutting, additive manufacturing)
- advanced electronics systems design
- power electronics
- electric vehicles, robotics and autonomous systems
- advanced CNC machines and manual machining
- real-time digital simulation
- Nimbus cloud supercomputer facility
**From course to career**
You’ll graduate with the skills to innovate and deliver resource-efficient practices and solutions for robotic and autonomous systems. Your knowledge will prepare you for a career in the engineering sector or for further postgraduate study and research. Our graduates work at companies including Thyssen Krupp, Unique Group, CMR Surgical, Ocado Technology and Small Robot Company.
