MEng Robotic Engineering
Entry requirements
A level: AAA including Maths. IB: 36 points overall with grade 5 in Higher Level Mathematics - Applications and Interpretation or 5 in Higher Level or Standard Level Mathematics - Analysis and Approaches. BTEC: We consider a range of BTEC qualifications equivalent to 3 A Levels, or in combination with A Levels or other qualifications. For example: DDD in the BTEC National Extended Diploma plus A level Maths grade A DD in the BTEC National Diploma in any subject plus A level Maths grade A D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus AA at A level including Mathematics We consider BTEC Level 3 National Diploma/ Extended Diploma with Unit 7- Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems and Unit 8- Further Engineering Mathematics in place of A Level Mathematics.
About this course
MEng (Hons) Robotic Engineering, a robotics engineering degree exploring automated systems and autonomous technology. Core topics include Programming, Signal Processing, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students can undertake an optional industrial placement year, and the programme holds full accreditation from the IET towards Chartered Engineer status. The first year covers core fundamentals through modules such as Introduction to Engineering, Mathematics, and Analogue Electronics. The second year progresses with Mathematics, Signals and Systems, Control, Sensors and Instrumentation, and Manufacturing and Fabrication. Third-year studies focus on specialised engineering areas, including Robotics Design and Construction, Mechanical Design and Kinematics, and Team Project A, while offering optional modules such as Digital Signal Processing and Electric Powertrain Design. The final year involves advanced compulsory study through Machine Vision and Human Machine Interaction and Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence, alongside an Individual Final Project, with further options available in subjects like Advanced Control and Electric Vehicle Technologies.
