Course description

As the need and scope for robots, smart machines and real-time systems in society grows, so does the market for those trained in autonomous and intelligent systems.

The course covers all major aspects of these control and systems engineering with an emphasis on system autonomy and intelligence.

You’ll get hands-on experience working with various types of data, hardware and software and you’ll have the opportunity to build a system from scratch using the specialist labs in the University. You’ll be able to take optional modules, including a choice to work with companies to work on real opportunities and problems experienced by industry.

You will also work on a research-level dissertation project of your own where you’ll be able to pick an area you are passionate about and develop a solution to a real world problem in the area.
