This will be followed by a 30-credit industrial research project in the field of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

Graduates with a Level 8 Honours Degree 2:1 or above in Electronic Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or a related discipline are eligible to apply for this programme. Programming knowledge (Ideally C, C++ or Python) and Level 8 Engineering Maths are pre-requisites to the course. Applicants who do not meet these criteria but have the willingness to address them will be considered. Candidate interviews and entrance exams will be used to assess suitability for the programme.
