MEng (Hons) Robotics

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, Automotive and Healthcare Robotics.

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 significant 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.

Our four-year Robotics degree reflects recent Software and Hardware technological advances and exposes you to new, much sought-after skills and up-to-date research areas. The degree includes recent technological advances in Embedded Systems, Intelligent Systems, Artificial Intelligence 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 and Intelligent Systems.

The degree has a good balance of academic theory and practical ‘hands-on’ project work. You will work in purpose-built laboratories, using the latest equipment.
