Choosing the right university for postgraduate studies is a big decision, and academic reputation plays a key role. This is especially true in engineering fields like Robotics and Aviation, where advancements happen rapidly. A research-focused university offers access to cutting-edge technology, real-world applications, and expert mentorship — helping students stay ahead in these dynamic industries.
Safinaz Khalil , an international student from Tunisia, understands this well. That’s why she chose to pursue an MSc in Robotics, AI, and Autonomous Systems at City St George’s, University of London. The programme is delivered by the School of Science & Technology.
With a background in Aeronautical Engineering, Khalil has always been fascinated by the potential of advanced technologies to transform industries. “The desire to contribute to this fast-evolving sector was a major driver for me,” she says. “City St George’s reputation for excellence in technology and engineering education stood out. This ensured I would be learning the latest advancements and techniques in my field, preparing me for a future at the forefront of technological innovation.”
Innovation and opportunity in the heart of London
Located at the intersection of the City of London, Tech City, and Clerkenwell’s design hub, the School of Science & Technology at City St George’s puts students in the heart of innovation. With global companies and creative startups just around the corner, they easily access internships, networking events, and career opportunities in fields like finance, computing, engineering, and technology.
But a prime location is just one part of the equation. The school is also home to expert faculty and groundbreaking research, ensuring students learn from leaders in their fields. For example, Professor Nabil Aouf is a specialist in Robotics and Autonomous Systems. He recently led the school’s inaugural conference, bringing together world-renowned experts to share their insights. Similarly, the Aeroelastics Tailoring Project — an award-winning collaboration between City St George’s University of London and Brazilian aerospace giant Embraer — demonstrates the school’s role in pushing the boundaries of innovation. Co-founded by Ranjan Banerjee, Emeritus Professor of Structural Dynamics, the project earned the prestigious Von Kármán Award for International Cooperation in Aeronautics.
This strong research foundation directly shapes classroom learning, ensuring students stay ahead. But academic excellence alone isn’t enough — real-world experience is just as crucial. That’s where the school’s industry connections come in.The Corporate Relations & Employability Unit works closely with top companies to secure internships and work placements, giving students a competitive edge. For Khalil, this was a huge deciding factor.
“The university has partnerships with leading companies and organisations in the tech sector, offering unparalleled opportunities for internships, networking, and real-world experience,” she says. “These connections are invaluable for a student looking to enter a competitive and ever-evolving industry, providing a bridge between academic studies and professional practice.”
