Robotic and Autonomous Systems’ Safety
As a practitioner of system and functional safety in the automotive industry, I highly recommend the MSc Safety Critical Systems Engineering.
The course covers the fundamentals of system safety in great depth and breadth, making them applicable to all safety standards.
Unlike previous degree courses, I refer to my notes from York's CPD courses a great deal, since they are extremely relevant to my day to day safety activities.
