Program Overview

MSc Robotics with Extended Research

Overview

The MSc Robotics with Extended Research is a multidisciplinary program that combines robotics and autonomous systems by incorporating the mechatronic aspects (mechanical and electronic) with computer science. The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of robotics and its applications in various fields.

Entry Requirements

• We require a First or strong Upper Second-class honours degree (2:1 with 65% average), or international equivalent, in Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronic, Mechanical, Aerospace, Biomechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics or Mathematics with evidence of programming ability.
• To progress to the second year of this course, we usually require performance at Distinction level. Students who do not meet the criteria for progression to the second year will instead graduate with the one-year Robotics MSc or an alternative appropriate qualification.
• When assessing your academic record, we take into account your grade average with particular emphasis on relevant course units and the standing of the institution where you studied your qualification.
• Applicants who are made a conditional offer of a place must demonstrate that they have met all the conditions of their offer by 31 July 2025.
