Robotics is leading advancements across a wide range of major global industries, including engineering, transportation, healthcare, technology, and energy.
The Internet of Things is a rapidly expanding sector addressing the challenges arising from the integration of digital and physical processes.
This MSc combines these two disciplines, equipping you with advanced knowledge and skills in the most exciting aspects of robotics and the Internet of Things.
The first year of this MSc follows the same structure as the one-year MSc programme. On this programme we build your foundational knowledge through our core topics which include robotic systems, embedded computer systems, digital system design, microprocessor systems, the Internet of Things and research skills and project management.
You can develop your specialism through optional modules, where you learn the fundamentals of image processing, the principles of communications networks, the theoretical and practical aspects of parallel programming for multi-core architectures, and an introduction to electrical plasma and how it can be used in electronic systems.
In Year two you will undertake an industrial project and placement (either in the UK or overseas), typically 30 weeks from September to next June. During the placement year you will spend time working in a relevant company suitable for the MSc. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical engineering experience which will boost your CV, build networks and develop confidence in a working environment. Many placement students continue their relationship with the placement provider by undertaking relevant projects and may return to work for the company when they graduate.
