Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems MSc
University of StaffordshireStoke-on-Trent campus, United Kingdom
Course overview
The MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems prepares students to address real-world challenges through advanced study in AI, robotics, machine learning, and autonomous technologies. From robotaxis and social robots to drones that can detect and repair faults, autonomous technologies are revolutionising the world around us. Our MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems will help meet the huge global demand for professional engineers with specialist AI skills.
You’ll be able to tackle complex challenges, use advanced robotics and apply machine learning across diverse environments. You could be modelling when industrial machines are likely to fail, predicting traffic flows, improving energy efficiency or reverse-engineering the brain to explore new technologies and treatments. The course includes a focus on design, simulation, control and intelligent decision-making processes.
You’ll also use Python for programming and will develop a range of technical and project management skills. We take a hands-on, practical approach, with case studies and personalised support. You will tackle real-world problems and generate solutions to industrial challenges, improving processes and efficiency using AI and autonomous systems.
