Overview

Learn how to design intelligent systems that interact with the real world on our master's in robotics. On this 4-year course, you'll build a strong foundation in programming, mathematics, design and robotics fundamentals, before further specialising in an area of your interest. You'll also learn how to tackle industry-informed challenges through practice-led robotics modules, and effectively use machine learning and artificial intelligence. All of our MEng Robotics students take part in a group design project, set by a real industry or academic customer – giving you a hands-on opportunity to bring your ideas to life and prepare for specialist roles in a fast-moving field. With access to extensive multimillion-pound facilities, you'll step into labs built for experimentation and innovation. Work with advanced robotics platforms, including: robot arms mobile robots on land and water embedded sensing and vision systems control and simulation tools You'll also master SolidWorks, MATLAB, Py

The following subjects are recognised as acceptable science subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electronics, Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Further Mathematics, Geography, Geology, Physics, Psychology, and Statistics. Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking. If you are taking an EPQ in addition to 3 A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAB including Mathematics (minimum grade A) and one further science, and grade A in the EPQ We are committed to ensuring that all applicants with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise an applicant's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme: ABB including grades AB in Mathematics and one further science Pass, with 36 points overall with 18 points required at Higher Level, including 6 at Higher Level in Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation*, and 6 at Higher Level in one additional Science subject. *Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches is preferred. We are committed to ensuring that all learners with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme. Offers will be made on the individual Diploma Course subject(s) and the career-related study qualification. The CP core will not form part of the offer.
