Summary
Cyber physical systems integrate computation with physical objects and processes. Examples of cyberphysical systems are:
- 'smart' devices in the home such as a smart meter or fridge
- voice assistant devices
- driverless vehicles
- medical monitoring equipment
- wearable devices
- robotic assistants
Our course is designed for students with a background in computer science or a related field with analytical skills. You'll learn the principles of integrated system design and computational and cyber physical systems methods and tools. Core modules will broaden your knowledge in key topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics and cybersecurity.
During the summer period, you will undertake an individual research project. This could be software-based or research-based. Collaboration with business, industry, and other outside bodies is encouraged.
A specific pathway within the one-year version of this programme has been recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre as a Certified Degree (Provisional) Incorporating Cyber Security. Candidates interested in this pathway are required to take a pre-set combination of modules.

Master of Science - MSc (PG)
Summary
Join this advanced two-year course which provides you with an in-depth study of the fundamentals of cyber physical systems. You will study more taught modules in your first year to take your knowledge and understanding of this field to a higher level. Your second year research project gives you the opportunity to conduct research in an area of cyber physical systems that you are interested in. This project will help improve your employability, look great on your CV and help you build contacts.
Cyber physical systems is an area of computer science that is growing rapidly around the world. It can help us grow better crops, improve traffic, simplify management of health conditions, and save energy and increase sustainability. Examples of cyber physical systems include driverless vehicles, smart devices, robotic assistants and voice-assistant devices.
This course will develop and advance your knowledge and expertise in cyber physical systems. You will study modules on topics such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, interactive systems, and machine learning.
You will complete a research project in the field of cyber physical systems. This can be in any area you choose. We encourage you to collaborate with businesses or industry partners. You will be supported by our academic staff and our world-leading research groups throughout your project.
To help support our students, we offer an Excellence in Computer Science scholarship. There are three levels to the award which range from 10-50% off your tuition fees.
