Computing (Visual Computing and Robotics)

This integrated Master's concentrates on systems that depend on vision algorithms or computer-made imagery. Students study technologies and algorithms for applications in games, visual effects and computer-made art, with a strong technical focus on implementation. The course explores how these systems are built and evaluated, and robotics is included as a specialist area. The programme covers how computer systems are designed and adapted for new uses, and teaching combines lectures, project work and hands-on practical implementation. An industrial placement is offered, and an I-Explore module provides credit in a subject beyond computing. Graduates work in games and visual effects studios, robotics, graphics and research. Students develop skills in visual computing that suit creative industries and research laboratories, and they learn to evaluate systems against realistic requirements and audiences.
