This course is unique in that it offers a combination of subjects much sought after in the autonomous vehicle industry and not covered in a single MSc course anywhere else. Successful graduates of this Master of Science course become conversant in key aspects of autonomy which places them at an advantage in today's competitive employment market.
The Autonomous Vehicle Dynamics and Control Master of Science includes eight taught compulsory modules. The course begins with the fundamentals of autonomous vehicle dynamics and control, and progresses to the core subjects of guidance and navigation, sensor fusion, advanced control, decision making, AI for autonomous systems.
The taught part of the course is followed by individual research projects (IRPs) and the topic of each of the IRPs is provided by one of the member of the Industrial Advisory Board. The real-world relevance of the IRP topics is another unique feature of the Master of Science course and can be another effective differentiator in the job market.
A key feature of the Master of Science is the inclusion of a CAA approved UAV remote pilot competence course. The course incorporates a ground school element for flight planning – covering principles of flight, rules and regulations of the air, using aviation charts, risk assessment and meteorology – and flight training to provide basic pilot competence, including how to respond in an emergency and being able to operate safety features. Successful completion of the course allows students to fly small UAV’s in the Open Category.
