Robotics and Artificial Intelligence MSc

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we live, work and innovate. From autonomous vehicles and smart manufacturing to healthcare robotics and intelligent infrastructure and everything in between. The MSc in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at Queen’s University Belfast gives you the advanced technical expertise, practical experience and industry awareness to lead in this rapidly evolving field. This intensive one-year programme combines cutting-edge AI techniques with real-world robotics engineering. While most programmes focus on either robotics or artificial intelligence, in this MSc we integrate both, giving you the skills to develop complete intelligent systems, from perception and decision-making to physical control and deployment. You will gain expertise in: Machine learning, state-of-the-art AI algorithms in Robotics, Computer vision and Perception; Robotics modelling and deployment, Control, Embedded systems and mechatronics, and in general autonomous and adaptive systems. By the end of the course, you’ll understand not only how AI algorithms work - but how to embed them into physical robotic platforms. --This MSc is for you if-- - You want to be at the forefront of robotics and artificial intelligence. - You are motivated to combine software intelligence with real-world hardware, designing systems that can sense, decide and act. - You enjoy solving complex technical problems using mathematics, programming and engineering principles. - You value developing transferable skills in analytical thinking, project management, teamwork and technical communication. - You are seeking a postgraduate experience that combines research-led teaching, hands-on laboratory work and industry-relevant projects. - You want a clear pathway into high-impact careers in robotics, AI engineering, advanced manufacturing, autonomous systems, or doctoral research.
