MSc (Eng) Robotics and the Internet of Things

University of Liverpool

Robotics is leading advancements across a wide range of major global industries, including engineering, transportation, healthcare, technology, and energy. The Internet of Things is a rapidly expanding sector addressing the challenges arising from the integration of digital and physical processes. This MSc combines these two disciplines, equipping you with advanced knowledge and skills in the most exciting aspects of robotics and the Internet of Things. On this programme we build your foundational knowledge through our core topics which include robotics, embedded computer systems, digital system design, microprocessor systems, the Internet of Things and research skills and project management. We also cover digital design techniques you will be introduced to materials used in robotics and electronics and develop an understanding of designing advanced embedded computer systems – along with a module that will help you to develop the practical skills to develop your final project in semester three. You can develop your specialism through optional modules, where you learn the fundamentals of image processing, the principles of communications networks, the theoretical and practical aspects of parallel programming for multi-core architectures, and an introduction to electrical plasma and how it can be used in electronic systems. Part-time study is in cooperation with the students’ employers. Please contact the Programme Director before applying.
