Course summary
Robots and autonomous systems are adopted into our daily lives and have important roles in a range of modern engineering disciplines including computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering. Robotics and autonomous systems engineering is a multidisciplinary scientific and technological field applying complex systems (robots) to perform tasks done traditionally by human beings. The importance of robots and autonomous systems lies in their strong economic contribution across diverse global market sectors. This exciting Masters course offers students the opportunity to study the most exciting aspects of Internet of Things, mechanical design, electronics and communication and apply them to the design and manufacture of smart autonomous systems. The programme comprises a mix of core principles of this emerging field of autonomous systems. It provides a broad coverage of all of the major disciplines in automation, process industry and network analysis.
Assessment method
A wide range of assessment methods are used, including traditional exams, coursework, oral presentations, critical self - assessments, scientific literature and group projects. Coursework provides opportunities for independent study, enhancing student knowledge and experience, and analysis and problem solving. These activities are supported by tutorials, seminars and class projects. The MSc project integrates a range of transferable skills and engineering knowledge and expertise.
Entry requirements
