Advanced Robotics Systems Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

Overview

The Advanced Robotics Systems MSc course from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University has three distinct features: the core modules, optional modules, and the year-long industrial immersion that includes an internship and a research dissertation or advanced industrial project. The core modules will equip graduates with core knowledge of robotics technology. Conversely, the optional modules allow students to have expertise in certain areas of interest.

Key Facts

Four pathways were created for the optional modules: Advanced Robotics Technologies, Leadership, Technopreneurship (tech entrepreneurship), and Applied Robotics Technologies.

The final part of the programme, industrial immersion, is geared towards equipping graduates with industrial know-how through projects that would give them an advantage over their peers.
