Summary

The Masters in Robotics & Artificial Intelligence introduces you to the main technologies underlying the development of robotic and intelligent systems, including machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), that sense and interact with their physical environment. This programme is designed to provide you with a strong foundation through the core topics, while offering the flexibility to tailor your selection of optional courses so that you focus on particular specialist subject areas. A key strength of this programme is the team and individual project work, which gives you the necessary experience of implementing algorithms and design concepts in the context of practical robotics.

You will be taught jointly by staff from the Schools of Engineering and Computing Science. You will benefit from their combined resources and expertise and from an industry-focused curriculum.

The University of Glasgow has been delivering world-class engineering education and research since 1840.

The University of Glasgow has been delivering world-class engineering education and research since 1840. * Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Glasgow is ranked 2nd in Scotland (Complete University Guide 2023). * The School of Computing Science is ranked 2nd in Scotland (Complete University Guide 2023). * The Schools of Computing Science and Engineering have extensive contacts with industrial partners who contribute to several of their taught courses through active teaching, curriculum development and panel discussion. Recent contributors include representatives from IBM, J.P. Morgan, Amazon, Adobe, Red Hat Babcock, Howdens and Terex. * The School of Computing Science is a member of the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance: SICSA. This collaboration of Scottish universities aims to develop Scotland's place as a world leader in Informatics and Computer Science research and education.

The main mode of delivery of the MSc Robotics and AI are lectures supported by practical tutorials and laboratory sessions. In addition, students are given the opportunity to take part in project and team work, which reinforces the learning process.

You will undertake an individual MSc project working on a specific research area with one of the academics either in Engineering or Computer Science.
