The University of the West of England runs both an undergraduate (BSc) and post graduate (MSc) course in Robotics. Please visit the links below for more information.

BSc(Hons) Robotics
The BSc(Hons) Robotics degree is for anyone interested in learning about, understanding and developing robots. Although this is primarily an engineering programme, it does extend and redefine the boundaries of engineering into new and exciting areas, including artificial life, biologically-inspired robotics, swarm intelligence and human-robot interaction. It is the blend of hardware, software and problem solving skills that you will acquire on this course that will make you so valuable to a wide range of industries. This is a three or, with a year of industrial placement, four year taught course. We place a strong emphasis on a hands-on approach and you'll start building robots from your very first week at UWE! We teach with a mixture of lab sessions, lectures, tutorials and projects.

MSc/Postgraduate Diploma/Postgraduate Certificate Robotics
This one year course includes taught modules, of which some are core and others optional, and a dissertation. It has been structured to allow you to specialise in an area of particular interest or relevance to your career.
Core modules include:
  • Contemporary Research in Advanced Robotics
  • Intelligent and Adaptive Systems
  • Embedded Real-Time Systems
  • DSP for Real-Time Control Systems
  • Contemporary Research in Advanced Robotics
  • Industrial & Operational Case Studies

Optional modules may include:
  • Electromechanical Systems Integration
  • Advanced Control and Dynamics
  • Theoretical Concepts in Applied Computer Vision
  • Behavioural System Design
