These streams build on our key research and academic strengths, along with our strong industrial links.

Modules and projects are delivered by internationally recognised experts in the area, including specialist lectures from industrial experts.

Key facts

• This suite of MSc programmes in mechanical engineering offers specialist streams linked to our world-leading research activities and centres
• Also taught at The University of Nottingham's Malaysia Campus
• The Faculty of Engineering is ranked 3rd in the UK for research power under REF 2014. More than 98% of engineering research ranked of international quality, with 85% graded as world leading or internationally excellent

Computer Science is playing a key role in many industries all around the world. Developments in artificial intelligence, apps and cyber security are changing how we live, work and socialise. This course will give you the skills and knowledge to prepare you for a range of high-level careers.

Core modules will develop your knowledge in key topics such as programming, databases, and networks. Optional modules give you the flexibility to broaden your knowledge in specialist areas, including machine learning, autonomous robotics, and human-AI interaction. 

You will undertake an individual research project in an area of your choice. This could be in collaboration with an industry partner to build your experience and connections. You can also work with one of our world-leading research groups. Previous projects have included:

• Deep Learning for Plant Phenotyping
• Automated algorithm design
• Collaborative live mobile video streaming systems for sports events

If you choose to focus your study and research in the field of AI, you can graduate with a degree titled ‘MSc Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)’.

Computer science is more than just programming. It is about problem-solving and creativity. Our range of optional modules allows you to explore the areas of computer science that excite you. These include user experience design, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

You'll take part in a group project in year two which prepares you for designing and creating the computer systems of the future. Many projects are in collaboration with industry. Previous students have worked with Capital One, Experian, IBM and UniDays. All these companies have offices in Nottingham. This project is great for your CV and can help you make contacts ready for when you start your career.

The benefit of this course is you'll spend your third year abroad. You could be studying in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand or Singapore.

Our BSc Industrial Economics will enable you to uncover the answers to these questions and more, giving you an understanding of the complex relationships between economics and global business practices. You’ll examine a company, take an in-depth look at its structure, markets, competitors and external economic environment.

You can follow your individual interests and career aspirations by selecting from optional modules alongside your core subjects. You could also really enhance your CV by opting for a work placement year at a company where you can be at the front line of business.

There's also the opportunity to gain a global perspective by studying abroad at our own campuses in China or Malaysia, or at a partner institution in locations including Australia, Sweden and the USA.

Cyberphysical systems integrate computation with physical objects and processes. Examples of cyberphysical 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

Our course 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 cyberphysical systems methods and tools. Core modules will broaden your knowledge in key topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics and cybersecurity.

During the summer period, you will undertake an individual research project. This could be software-based or research-based. Collaboration with business, industry, and other outside bodies is encouraged.

You’ll be able to challenge educational practices and debate issues such as equality in education, learning in the digital age, and the ways in which cognition and development affect the way people learn. The degree covers perspectives from disciplines such as politics, history, sociology, philosophy and psychology.

The placement module provides an excellent opportunity to develop your understanding of educational theories in a practical setting, and will strengthen your CV. You could also have the chance to study abroad for a semester at our Malaysia campus.
