Course Overview

Robotics is on the cusp of an exciting new era as Robots become more intelligent and find applications in an ever more diverse range of industries, including Consumer and Healthcare Robotics. Our Robotics degree reflects recent software and hardware technological advances and exposes you to new, much sought-after skills and up-to-date research areas. This five-year degree includes a compulsory year-long placement in industry.

Recent technological advances are incorporated into the degree by developing novel cross-disciplinary approaches and subject areas such as Embedded Systems, Intelligent Systems and Mechatronics. You will experiment and interact with specialist software, hardware interfaces and systems, and exotic robots and fabrication facilities. You will be taught by academics whose research is rated internationally excellent by the latest Research Excellence Framework in areas including Robotics, Intelligent Systems and Networks.

According to a recent report, Robotics is the fastest-growing industry in the world and is poised to become the largest in the next decade. We are amid an increase in technological change, and the changes in the coming decade will be a magnitude of order more extraordinary than anything that has gone before. A shift is about to take place that will forever change society; our ability to manufacture novel robots and new intelligent systems will change how we interact with technology and allow technology to interact with us and our world in a far more nuanced way.
