Why study this course

This MSc combines cutting-edge robotics and artificial intelligence, offering practical, hands-on education to give you the skills needed in this rapidly expanding field of engineering.

Engagement with industry

Collaborate with industrial partners on high-impact, real-world problems.

Research led teaching

Learn from academics who are driving research and innovation in this area.

Develop in-demand skills

Develop the fundamental knowledge and advanced practical skills to meet industry demands.

Interdisciplinary

Work across multiple disciplines to learn how to deliver robotics and autonomous systems solutions to engineering challenges.

Robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are emerging as leading technologies that, together, have created a new generation of industry focused on autonomous and cognitive devices. Robotics with artificial intelligence is gaining prominence across multiple sectors, with increasing demand for specialists in this field.

Our MSc in Robotics and Intelligent Systems will give you the tools to explore innovative solutions to real-world engineering problems and respond to the global need for autonomous and cognitive systems that can interact seamlessly with the world.

The programme focuses on developing a fundamental knowledge of robotics and autonomous systems and its application to practical mechatronics design. From theoretical engineering and science-based knowledge to hands-on, practical skills in robotics engineering and artificial intelligence, you’ll apply what you’ve learnt to real-world problems encountered in research and industry. Optional modules from across various engineering disciplines will allow you the freedom to build your own portfolio of skills and knowledge in line with your interests.

You’ll be encouraged to develop a creative and innovative approach to engineering challenges and to seek achievable, sustainable solutions by employing a variety of skills, critical knowledge and understanding.

As a school we are committed to undertaking research that makes a difference on a local and global scale. You’ll be taught by researchers in robotics, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence who are driving innovation and development in this sector. You will also benefit from our collaborative partnerships with industry through real-world projects, placement opportunities, and direct contact with industrial engineers via guest lectures.

As a graduate in Robotics and Intelligent Systems, you will lead the change in transforming society through a shared vision of future robotics and intelligent engineering applications.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

In order to be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.

With your online application you will need to provide:

A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:2 honours degree in a relevant engineering subject area, or an equivalent international degree. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 6.5 with 5.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending. If you have alternative acceptable evidence, such as an undergraduate degree studied in the UK, please supply this in place of an IELTS.

If you do not have a degree in a relevant area, you may still apply but you will be required to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key engineering topics prior to an offer being made. Please provide additional evidence to support your application such as signed and dated employer references, a CV and professional registration.

Application Deadline

We allocate places on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend you apply as early as possible. Applications normally close at the end of August but may close sooner if all places are filled.

Selection process

We will review your application and if you meet all of the entry requirements, we will make you an offer.
