BSc Robotics and Intelligent Devices
The Robotics and Intelligent Devices programme at the Maynooth University focuses on the design, implementation, and use of intelligent physical things in the environment.
Duration
4 years
Starting Date
September
Tuition Fee
€15,000 per year
Location
Maynooth, Ireland
The programme
These include robots, autonomous vehicles, smart sensors, and internet-of-things devices. In the modern world, many of these things are the basis for brand new services or service improvements in areas such as health and wellbeing, assistive living, safety, smart manufacturing, retail, and hospitality, among others.
In addition to strong software skills, students completing the degree in Robotics and Intelligent Devices will develop strong competencies in systems and knowledge of how systems fit together, through areas such as electronic hardware design, signal processing, and system control.
Blending Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, we focus on adding intelligence to every day systems and developing robots that can interact with humans and our environment. Through project work, students will explore robotics and intelligent devices and may focus their project work throughout the programme in a specific area of their interest or blend thematic areas.
Career Options
Possible graduate roles may include robotics engineer, software engineer/developer, embedded systems engineer/developer, intelligent systems architect, and intelligence analyst.
Students of this programme will benefit from a work placement opportunity in their 3rd year and a portfolio of projects to show to potential employers.
Once a student has completed the degree in Robotics and Intelligent Devices they may continue their education in Maynooth through postgraduate studies and PhD programmes.
