Study Details: MSc one year full-time
The MSc Aerial Robotics will provide you with the knowledge required to become an innovator in aerial robotic systems and tackle the latest challenges for Uncrewed Air Vehicles (UAVs) or drones, from urban utility operations through to remote scientific investigation. Foundational skills such as flight dynamics, control and avionics will be complemented with disruptive technologies such as autonomous navigation and bio-inspiration.
This programme will expose you to a wide range of advanced engineering and computer science concepts and offers the opportunity to apply these to an aerial robotics project. Flight testing may be carried out at one of our world-class facilities including an indoor flight arena at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory or the outdoor flying site at Fenswood, Long Ashton.
The University of Bristol has a long history associated with aerospace, with the city providing a home to Airbus, Rolls-Royce, QinetiQ, Leonardo helicopters and a range of smaller SMEs. Drawing on this expertise, the Aerial Robotics programme will cover not only conventional vehicle design and onboard systems, but wider supporting robotics technologies including AI, ethics and the legal framework in which they operate.
An upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in any subject. All applicants must demonstrate programming experience in either C/C++, Java, Python or MATLAB. This can be demonstrated by a module titled in either C/C++, Java Python or MATLAB, work experience or can be self taught. For degrees that do not contain a specific module in one of the required languages, applicants must provide a written programming statement to outline their experience using C/C++, Python, MATLAB or Java.
We will consider applicants whose grades are slightly lower than the programme’s entry requirements, if they have at least one of the following:
If this is the case, applicants should include their CV (curriculum vitae) when they apply, showing details of their relevant work experience and/or qualifications.
