Study at BRL


 BRL offers a full range of taught courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, Masters level research programmes, selected internships and a series of short workshops through the Robotics Innovation Facility.

It is proud to host PhD level research programmes through its EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Robotics and Autonomous Systems (FARSCOPE).
FARSCOPE
Centre for Doctoral Training

FARSCOPE takes a broad view of robotics, developing researchers whose expertise can be applied across many different domains.

In 2014, the Bristol Robotics Lab (BRL) launched a new Centre for Doctoral Training in robotics and autonomous systems. The Centre offers a joint PhD degree run by BRL's two partner universities, the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England. The Centre is funded by EPSRC following their CDT 2013 competition.

The new CDT is entitled "Future Autonomous Robotic Systems Centre of PhD Education" - FARSCOPE. 

Full information about the centre, including details of the programme, industry engagement, and how to apply, can be found on the FARSCOPE website.
MSc in Robotics

The MSc in Robotics draws on the expertise of both Universities who deliver this programme to provide you with a wide understanding of advanced robotics and automation systems with broad applications.

The MSc in Robotics is designed to provide you with a wide understanding of advanced robotics and automation systems with broad applications.


It is sufficiently general to give you an excellent background for a professional career in the robotics sector whilst also providing the specialism necessary for a career as a researcher.


The programme is jointly delivered by the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, and draws on the combined expertise of both universities and Bristol Robotics Laboratory - a world-leading facility for robotics research.

BEng(Hons) Robotics

This is a three or, with a year of industrial placement, four year taught course with a strong emphasis on a hands-on approach and you'll start building robots from your very first week at UWE!

The BEng(Hons) Robotics degree is for anyone interested in learning about, understanding and developing robots.

Although this is primarily an engineering programme, it does extend and redefine the boundaries of engineering into new and exciting areas, including artificial life, biologically-inspired robotics, swarm intelligence and human-robot interaction.

It is the blend of hardware, software and problem solving skills that you will acquire on this course that will make you so valuable to a wide range of industries.

This is a three or, with a year of industrial placement, four year taught course. We place a strong emphasis on a hands-on approach and you'll start building robots from your very first week at UWE! We teach with a mixture of lab sessions, lectures, tutorials and projects.
