Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (Taught)

​On this Master of Science degree in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), you will develop advanced skills across complex and core topics in service, industrial and social robotics. You will study the latest cutting-edge advancements in the field – such as machine learning techniques, robotics vision & speech, and 3D modelling. You will then apply your knowledge to the design and development of sophisticated autonomous intelligent apps, 3D designs and physical robotics systems.

You will also develop strong managerial and leadership skills, and a global appreciation of the economic, legal, social, ethical and environmental context of robotics. In addition, there are opportunities for short-term mobility trips to visit global industry leaders and short industrial or academic internship placements, which can often prove very useful in securing future employment in the UK and globally. An expert-level knowledge of robotics, AI and machine learning is highly desirable in industry, with opportunities for further research and PhD study also available.

The MSc in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is closely integrated with the EUREKA Robotics Centre – one of only 11 specialist centres in the UK, and the only Centre in Wales with a unique focus in social and service robotics (profiled by the International Trade Department, UK Government, p. 11). The EUREKA Robotics Centre is also the only University centre in Wales on the KTN Robotics & AI Innovation Network Map for “Specific Capabilities & Technologies”. Students have the opportunity of undertaking an internship at the Centre or partners organisations to gain robotics and AI industrial or research experience.

The programme is aiming for Chartered IT Professional Accreditation (CITP) by The Chartered Institute of IT (BCS), for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional in the UK.

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to fully meet the CEng registration educational requirements.
