COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Intelligent Robotics at the University of Galway requires students to complete 90 credits in Year 1 under the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), though specific modules may be subject to change for the current academic year. The program offers a highly flexible curriculum composed primarily of optional modules, allowing students to tailor their studies according to their technical interests and career goals. A module is an examinable component identified by a unique code and involves lectures, tutorials, and assessed coursework.In Semester 1, students may choose from a wide range of advanced technical subjects such as Embedded Image Processing, Intelligent Robotics Project (30 credits), Mobile Device Technologies, Mobile Networks: Architecture and Services, Systems Modelling and Simulation, Machine Learning, Digital Signal Processing, Digital Control Systems for Automation and Robotics, and Sensing and Perception for Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles. Additional options include Tools and Techniques for Large Scale Data Analytics, Internet of Things Systems Design, Research Methods for Engineers, Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Lean Systems, Project Management, Safety Engineering, Financial Management I, and Introduction to Sustainability 1.In Semester 2, optional modules continue to build specialization in areas such as Embedded Machine Vision, Advanced Manufacturing, Data Visualisation, Computer Security and Forensic Computing, Digital Twins for Robotics, Robotic Control, Navigation and Locomotion, and Introduction to Sustainability 2. This diverse structure enables students to combine robotics, artificial intelligence, automation, data analytics, manufacturing, and management skills, ensuring a multidisciplinary foundation for careers in intelligent systems and advanced automation industries.
