This course is for you if you have a keen interest in doing a Master's degree which will enable you to apply your creativity and knowledge to create intelligent robots. This course will provide you both the critical insight and practical skills to do so. Practical research training and supervision will be provided through UWE research centres, including the internationally-renowned Bristol Robotics Laboratory. This course is the ideal preparation for you if you are thinking about going on to study a PhD in Robotics. Robotics is a rapidly developing discipline that combines long-established areas of electronic and mechanical engineering with novel approaches in computing and the life sciences. It is also driving a revolution in industry where robotic devices are starting to penetrate most sectors - from its widespread use in defence and manufacturing, through to emerging applications in personal care, medical intervention and entertainment. UWE is highly regarded both nationally and internationally for our teaching and research covering robotics, artificial intelligence and embedded systems. The course is structured as follows: ?A substantial research project or dissertation (120 credits at level M) ?Four taught modules (60 credits at level M) There is only one core taught module called Industrial and Operational Case Studies. The other three modules may be chosen from across the range of modules available in the Faculty, or potentially more widely across the University, according to your project topic and to fill in any gaps in your own background knowledge. The research project is the crux of your course and comprises a significant piece of supervised research work. Your choice of modules builds up your knowledge to this point. You will have submitted a project proposal as part of the application process which will have been agreed as being suitable and practical for the duration and level of the degree.
