Robotics BEng

Why study robotics with us

Our flexible course lets you tailor your studies to gain the skills, project experience, and professional networks you need to achieve your engineering career ambitions in the field of robotics – and beyond. You’ll gain the technical knowledge and project experience that will give you a competitive edge as a robotics engineer.

You’ll explore all aspects of engineering to get a broad understanding of robotics, design, electronics, mechatronics, and networking solutions. Using the latest hardware and software, including LabVIEW, SolidWorks, and STEP-7, you’ll also learn to develop systems that control physical motion – such as the ones you’ll find in robotic applications and industrial automation.

Build your robotics engineering skills

You’ll have the flexibility to tailor your studies to complement your personal interests and career ambitions. From year two, you’ll have the option to carry on with your BEng Robotics or transfer to a design engineering or mechatronics program.

Our weekly guest lectures give you the chance to enhance your industry knowledge and build contacts with some of the industry’s leading experts and companies. They’ll also give you the help, advice, and feedback you need to start building your professional portfolio while you study.

Our London location gives you access to industry contacts, work experience opportunities, and the chance to showcase your work at design engineering competitions. You’ll also have the option to get a feel for the industry with a paid, year-long work placement.
