Cyber Physical Systems

TheCyber Physical Systems course from the University of Nottingham is designed for students with a background in computer science or a related field with analytical skills. You'll learn the principles of integrated system design and computational and cyber physical systems methods and tools.

Cyber physical systems integrate computation with physical objects and processes. Learn more at Cyber Physical Systems program offered by University of Nottingham .

Examples of cyber physical systems are:

• 'smart' devices in the home such as a smart meter or fridge
• voice assistant devices
• driverless vehicles
• medical monitoring equipment
• wearable devices

• robotic assistants

Core modules will broaden your knowledge in key topics such as robotics, sensors and the Internet of Things.

During the summer period, you will undertake an individual research project, supported by an expert advisor from one of theresearch groups. This could be software-based or research-based. Collaboration with business, industry, and other outside bodies is encouraged.

Career

The fourth industrial revolution is coming. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and cyber physical systems are all changing how we live and work.

With the skills gained from this degree, you could be developing the technology of the future. Careers could be in:

• cyber security
• financial technology (fintech)
• networked systems
• robotics and autonomous systems
• smart product and service design and development
• artificial intelligence engineering

You may choose to continue your research in this area with a PhD.

Modules included:

• Autonomous Robotic Systems

• Designing Sensor-Based Systems

• Research Methods
