Robotics is one of the growing sectors internationally, requiring an open-minded technological expertise across disciplines. The Master of Science (MSc) (Robotics) programme equips students with the fundamentals of robotics, providing them with the depth and breadth necessary to succeed in the future robotics sector, in the Industry 4.0 landscape and beyond. The field of robotics is vast and finds applications in diverse range of industrial sectors. However, there are three fundamental pillars on which any robotics system is built on. These are:

  • Sensing/perception: systems and techniques that allow a robot to perceive and comprehend its surroundings.
  • Reasoning/cognition: systems that provide the robots with the ability to plan their actions, as well as anticipate and learn from the outcome of their actions.
  • Actuation/action: systems and components of the robot that make it move and manipulate external objects.

The curriculum is based on a set of core courses that build up the fundamentals of these pillars in the students. The students are then given the option to select specific areas of robotics from a number of electives courses, going in depth into horizontal robotic technologies or vertical robot applications.

The admission to the M.Sc. (Robotics) programme is highly competitive and exclusive to ensure high quality course content and delivery, resulting in well trained and future ready graduates for the following professional industries and sectors:

  • Robotics Engineers / Technical Officers, designing, adopting, or maintaining robots
  • Technology & Innovation Management & Assessment
  • Technical Sales & Service
  • Professional users of robots, in diverse sectors, from healthcare to cleaning and media production.
