The MSc Robotics course of University of Bristol is jointly run by University of Bristol and University of the West of England. As the Bristol Robotics Laboratory is situated in the campus of UWE we have access to both Universities. And some modules are taken and assessed by UWE. The degree is awarded by both Universities jointly. Where University of Bristol is the actual awarding body.
