Cyber physical systems integrate computation with physical objects and processes. Examples of cyber physical systems are:

  • 'smart' devices in the home such as a smart meter or fridge
  • voice assistant devices
  • driverless vehicles
  • medical monitoring equipment 
  • wearable devices
  • robotic assistants

Our course is designed for students with a background in computer science or a related field with analytical skills. You'll learn the principles of integrated system design and computational and cyber physical systems methods and tools. 

The key topics covered will include:

  • artificial intelligence
  • robotics
  • cyber security
  • modelling and simulation
  • ethical design
  • interactive systems

The benefit of a two-years masters is that you can build the foundation of your knowledge in year one then use your skills for a year-long practical or research project.

During the second year, you will undertake an individual research project. This could be software-based or research-based. Collaboration with business, industry, and other outside bodies is encouraged. 

This course is linked to the school’s research groups. Our broad research means we can offer a variety of projects across the spectrum of computer science and cyber physical systems.

A one-year version of this course is available.
