Robotics and AI MSc

Overview

Are you intrigued by the emerging field of AI and intelligent robotics? Do you want to deepen your understanding of how robots can transform industries and solve complex problems?

This master’s programme will focus on developing your knowledge and understanding of specialist topics in robotics and AI and will build your research and knowledge acquisition skills. You’ll have access to specialist software and learn how to use AI that applies to robots and will get the opportunity to build your own.

Robots are invaluable for performing precise, autonomous, and hazardous tasks that may be challenging or risky for humans. They are used to;

• monitor environments and collect data in remote or difficult-to-access-areas
• assist in advanced medical procedures to enhance precision and outcomes
• explore dangerous or inaccessible locations in emergencies
• automate tasks in agriculture, industry, and research for increased efficiency

You’ll enter the industry with expertise in engineering, AI and computer science. You will have the skills to develop, monitor, manage and improve robotics and AI.
