Connectionists: MSc in Robotics - University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory

[Nathan Lepora]

The MSc in Robotics at the University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics
Laboratory is open for applications for 2015-2016.

The MSc is unique in drawing on the strengths of two universities, the
University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, who
are partners in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (BRL) a world leading
facility for multi-disciplinary robotics research, and the leading and
largest academic centre for robotics research in the UK with over 150
academic staff and 3000 square meters of laboratory space.

Why an MSc at Bristol?

The MSc in Robotics provides a programme for high quality graduates in
Engineering and Science to develop their skills and problem solving
abilities beyond the specialisation of their first degree.

The programme meets the following aims:
- It provides a broad Robotics education at postgraduate level
- It allows students on the course to develop their skills in a
variety of fields through taught courses, case studies and laboratory
work.
- It provides the opportunity for a major, industrially or research
relevant project to be carried out individually by each student on the
course.

The MSc also benefits from cross-over with Bristol's new Centre for
Doctoral Training in robotics and autonomous systems FARSCOPE
(http://farscope.bris.ac.uk/) offering students a route into
postgraduate research for a PhD degree.

The MSc, then, provides an excellent route into a highly important
area of industry and research, at a world-leading centre for robotics.
Bristol is also renowned for the standing of its Universities, its
historic and beautiful town centre, and is consistently voted the
'best city to live in the UK'.
