Real-life robots might be a bit different from the ones on our screens, but they’re completely changing sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, transport, agriculture and energy. Global employers need people like you to become engineers, to build the technology of the future. Our undergraduate robotics engineering course was one of the first in the UK to provide core robotics education. It combines expertise in mechanical, electronic and computer systems to show you what’s possible in this field. Learn from world-leading experts and use our robotics hub, rapid prototyping facilities, MakerSpace and electronics laboratories. You'll have opportunities to learn robot design and control, computer programming, software engineering, embedded systems and artificial intelligence – expertise that’s in high demand. If you choose the MEng option, you’ll also explore specialised areas such as computer vision, machine learning and real-time control. Engineers, computer scientists, clinical experts and psychologists are all carrying out research at the Centre for Advanced Robotics. Together they’re investigating everything from autonomous systems and cognition to human-robot interaction and medical robotics. Robotics bridges the gap between mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, opening up a range of careers. Graduates are well placed to find work in manufacturing, technology or medical robotics, as well as in research and development. Apply for our Robotics Engineering BEng or MEng with Industrial Experience to spend a year on placement, gaining practical experience and building professional contacts. The industrial experience year can be taken in Year 3 or 4 of a BEng programme or Year 3, 4 or 5 of an MEng programme.
