The one-year full-time MSc in Human and Biological Robotics is a wide-ranging course covering robotics for humans and society, service and social robotics, rehabilitation technology, as well as machine vision, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This Master's course has a unique focus on engineering methods which investigate human and animal sensing and sensorimotor control, and on the design of biomimetic systems and assistive devices for humans. It builds upon the unique strengths of the Department of Bioengineering and the wider College in this new field.

You will be well supported by the Robotics Forum, which groups together robotics researchers at Imperial doing multidisciplinary research at the cutting edge of several disciplines. The course is taught by the Department of Bioengineering, where you will spend most of your study time, with additional input from the Departments of Aeronautics, Computing, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and the Dyson School of Design Engineering.

You will follow an exciting programme of study at the forefront of an emerging discipline, which aims to ensure graduates develop a deep understanding of human and biological robotics. There is also an emphasis entrepreneurship and collaboration with other disciplines, which makes sure graduates are highly employable across many types of organisations.

Our graduates are well placed for the following fields:

• Further research in universities, research institutes, industry and healthcare
• Design and production (of medical devices and biomimetic systems)
• Freelancing, entrepreneurship and start-ups
• Technical and commercial consulting

This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) and Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
