      The word ‘robot’ is derived from the Czech word ‘robota’, meaning ‘forced labour’, and fiction writers have always had fun with the idea. In reality, robotics and artificial intelligence presents one of the great intellectual opportunities of the 21st century, transforming how we live, work, travel and learn as we develop artificial systems such as robots for the home and entertainment, robots for assisting those with additional needs, agricultural robots, and systems used in supply chain management. On this degree you will develop specialist expertise, explore the inter-related commercial disciplines used to create artificial systems, and gain fundamental skills in programming, operating systems, software design, applied mathematics and network architecture. On graduation you will be prepared for a future career working with intelligent systems ranging from domestic appliances and search engines to robots exploring Mars.

      From September 2022 entry, this degree will also be available as a 4-year programme with an integrated foundation year.

      Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Course Statement

      Our blended delivery involves a mix of online and face-to-face sessions in computing laboratories. We introduce theoretical concepts by building on concrete practical activity. Sessions are highly interactive, with practical application of concepts a key factor, as well as cases drawn from real-life. Workshops, seminars, group tutorials, supervised support sessions and practical exercises provide opportunities for you to work with your peers and develop the essential people skills to complement your technical ability. Studying on a full-time basis, you will be required to attend a mix of online and face-to-face sessions for up to four days a week. You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, coursework, portfolios, reports, essays, presentations, or examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes some small group activities, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.
