Course Overview

The MSc in Perception, Action, and Behaviour is designed for students eager to tackle the challenges of robotics, computational perception, and biomimetic systems. This program equips you with the skills to develop robots that autonomously learn motor control, interpret real-world data, and create coordinated team actions. Under the guidance of expert supervisors and research groups, you’ll address complex, real-world problems while mastering both theoretical and practical aspects of perception and behavior in robotics.


Supported by the Institute of Perception, Action, and Behaviour (IPAB), the program provides a vibrant research culture that encourages innovation. You’ll explore topics like active sensing, agent-based interaction, and dynamic control systems while honing your skills in system development. Unique features include access to state-of-the-art labs, transferable skills courses, and an inclusive, supportive environment for career growth, particularly for underrepresented groups in STEM.


What You'll Learn
  • Expert Knowledge in robotics, computational perception, and dynamic system control.

  • Hands-on Experience developing systems that mimic animal behaviors or produce autonomous team actions.

  • Interdisciplinary Skills combining computer vision, biomimicry, and interactive technologies.

  • Career Advancement through access to a dynamic research culture and transferable skills courses.

  • Cutting-Edge Tools for hardware and software systems development in state-of-the-art labs.
