MSc by Research Robotics

We normally require an honours degree of 2.1 or above in Electronic or Electronic Engineering, or in other engineering disciplines including Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or similar.

With your application you should submit a draft project proposal.

*You may be invited to informal interview, where your proposal will be discussed and appropriate optional modules selected. International students who are not able to attend an informal interview will be interviewed electronically and by telephone.

The full Masters course comprises 180 credits divided into three 60 credit stages: Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Masters. Students work incrementally through the three stages and must pass all modules at each stage in order to progress to the next.

You'll undertake a substantial research project or dissertation (120 credits), plus four taught modules (15 credits each), one of which is compulsory:

• Research Investigation, Planning and Methods for Change (15 credits): An introduction to various approaches to research methodology in an engineering and technology environment. You will develop the ability to formulate research proposals, select appropriate methods of analysis and prepare and present research outcomes

You choose another three modules from the range available in the Faculty, or potentially more widely from across the University, depending on your research project's theme and how you want to expand your background knowledge. Essentially, your choice of modules builds your knowledge to support your supervised research. This is the key part of your course, and will have been agreed as part of your application.
