Master of Science - Robotics with Artificial Intelligence

This course is for students who want to pursue postgraduate studies in robotics and AI. This master’s course will put students well on their way to a career in robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Structured to give students a thorough coverage of the key hardware-software components that underpin the design and implementation of modern engineering systems, this MSc is an ideal choice if students want to learn about the growing area of robotics and intelligent systems.

This degree programme at London Metropolitan University is designed to enhance their career prospects through a module structure that balances theory and practice. It's suitable if students are a recent graduate from a connected discipline, or if they are an experienced professional from a background such as electronics, mechatronics, computer science and computer networking.

Robotics with artificial intelligence, as part of intelligent and connected systems, is increasingly gaining prominence in diverse sectors and applications such as manufacturing, health, remote exploration of hostile environments, driverless cars, unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), robot floor cleaners, pharmaceuticals, toy - the list goes on, and it’s continuing to grow.

Completing this master’s course in robotics with artificial intelligence will see students gain hands-on experience in an exciting wide range of topics. They'll learn about the development of embedded control systems for robots, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and in turn their applications, all with a focus on the practical implementation, both in hardware and simulation. If students are looking to learn about robotic and autonomous systems for their future employment in related industries, or in order to pursue this field into a PhD, then this course is the ideal next step.

The scope for social and physical interaction between such sophisticated systems and people means that this field is likely to have a far-reaching impact in the coming decades. As a result, the industry is experiencing a huge demand for robotics specialists. On graduation, students are likely to have a wider pool of opportunities to choose from and a higher starting salary than average across other comparable professions.

This MSc will expose students to cutting-edge knowledge and case studies through teaching content and their own projects. This is supported by world-leading research from London Metropolitan University’s Centre for Communications Technology and our Cyber Security Research Centre. The tutorials, workshops and practical sessions in IT studios and specialised laboratories will enable students to work with professional software tools, development kits and engineering equipment.

Joining this course at London Metropolitan University will give students access to a range of online facilities to support students' independent learning. This includes the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), which provides learning materials and collaborative learning tools 24/7, anywhere in the world. Students will also benefit from free student membership for the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET). The course is tailored to the IET’s guidelines for future accreditation and is expected to fulfil the academic requirements for students to become a Chartered Engineer after gaining appropriate professional experience. Guest speakers from the industry and practitioners from a range of disciplines are invited to share their knowledge and experience, often through student societies and University events.
