MSc Autonomous Vehicle Dynamics and Control

... United Kingdom
... Cranfield University

Course Overview

This course is unique because it offers a combination of subjects much sought after in the autonomous vehicle industry and is not covered in a single MSc course anywhere else. Successful graduates of our MSc course become conversant in critical aspects of autonomy, which places them at an advantage in today's competitive employment market.

The Autonomous Vehicle Dynamics and Control MSc includes eight taught compulsory modules, which are generally delivered from October to March. The course begins with the fundamentals of autonomous vehicle dynamics and control. It progresses to guidance and navigation, sensor fusion, advanced management, decision-making, and AI for autonomous systems.

The taught part of the course is followed by individual research projects (IRPs), and the topic of each irp is provided by one of the members of the Industrial Advisory Board. The real-world relevance of the IRP topics is another unique feature of the MSc course and can be another compelling differentiator in the job market.

A vital feature of the MSc includes a CAA-approved UAV remote pilot competence course. The course incorporates a ground school element for flight planning – covering principles of flight, rules, and regulations of the air, using aviation charts, risk assessment, and meteorology – and flight training to provide basic pilot competence, including how to respond in an emergency and being able to operate safety features. Successful course completion allows students to fly small UAVs in the Open Category.
