Program Description

For students with an undergraduate degree in engineering, mathematics or science, this accredited MSc in Control, Automation and Artificial Intelligence can help them develop skills that would be beneficial in almost every engineering field from automotive, aircraft industry, power and energy, automation, process industry including oil and gas, food and drink, pharmaceutical industry and many others.

Control engineering is a means of managing and measuring performance of process systems in areas from power plants and nuclear reactors to construction companies and manufacturing. The principles of control also extend in activities as diverse as managing risk in the financial sector to studying climate change within science.

The course covers three specialist pathways within the field of control systems engineering, which feature a balance between theoretical and practical content and is therefore designed for graduates in engineering or science. If students wish to embark on a career as a technical specialist in analytical aspects of control engineering or if they are a practising engineer looking to stay abreast of important advances and developments, they may want to consider this course.

Academics delivering teaching on this course are actively involved in research and consultancy with industry, which ensures the taught materials are based on techniques and technologies currently relevant to industry. Parts of the teaching materials are also offered as CPD training for engineers from industry.

Work placement option

This master's programme provides students with the additional option to apply for a 'work placement' opportunity during the first semester. The 'work placement', which if secured, is designed to further develop their skills, knowledge and professional experience with the aim of maximising their employability prospects. Please note that the optional placement modules incur an additional tuition fee of £4,000.  

Admission Requirements

To apply to this course you should have a minimum 2:2 honours degree in an appropriate engineering discipline such as Mechanical, Automotive, Motorsport, or Aerospace Engineering. However, entry qualifications are flexible and applications are welcomed from other technical disciplines, mature candidates and those with industrial experience.
