Robotics with a Foundation Year Beng (Hon)

Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems.<br/><br/>**Informed by world-leading research and designed with industry partners, this four-year course in mechatronic and robotic engineering will shape you into a highly employable engineering graduate.**<br/><br/>If you dont have the scientific or mathematical background for our engineering courses, this degree with a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing your foundation year youll be able to progress to the first year of the three-year BEng Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering.<br/><br/>Once youve progressed to the BEng degree, youll spend your first year learning how to control robotic systems, and your second year exploring areas like programming (C++), mechanical design and intelligent systems. You’ll then go on to apply your skills to a practical project. This will see you designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building robots in our innovative iForge Makerspace.<br/><br/>In fact, all through your time here, youll use industry standard equipment, and learn about state-of-the-art applications in robotics, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/><br/>In your final year youll take specialist modules that cover robotics and machine learning, amongst others – tailoring your degree with optional study areas, and getting detailed experience in the lifecycle of engineering projects through group work.<br/><br/>You’ll bring everything you have learned together to complete an advanced project. You’ll collaborate with a world-leading academic to embed technical knowledge and expertise, and advance your understanding of topics such as deep learning, machine vision and cybersecurity.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Take your ideas from paper to reality** - work collaboratively with other student engineers to create the most effective robotics with autonomous technology.<br/><br/><br/>- **Go on to great things** - 92% of students from our department go on to work or further study for companies including Rolls-Royce, Siemens and Airbus.<br/><br/><br/>- **Study with the experts** - our academic staff have direct research experience in the robotics industry and specialise in programming, intelligent systems and cybersecurity.<br/><br/><br/>- **Learn to use industry standard tech** - thanks to our industry standard facilities including 3D CAD tools, 3D printers and advanced manufacturing technologies.<br/><br/><br/>- **Get noticed by future employers** - study modules designed with our industry partners – spanning topics such as robotics and artificial intelligence, industrial control and advanced manufacturing.<br/>
