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 you gain hands-on experience in an exciting wide range of topics. You'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 you are looking to learn about robotic and autonomous systems for your future employment in related industries, or in order to pursue this field into a PhD, then this course is your 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 you 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 you to cutting-edge knowledge and case studies through teaching content and your own projects. This is supported by world-leading research from London Met’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 you to work with professional software tools, development kits and engineering equipment.

Joining this course at London Met will give you access to our range of online facilities to support your independent learning. This includes our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), which provides learning materials and collaborative learning tools 24/7, anywhere in the world. You'll 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 you 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.
