**Course overview**
- Robotics Engineering prepares you for a fascinating and rewarding career, developing the electronic and mechanical engineering skills you’ll need to become a robotic engineer.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree programme.
- This course draws on knowledge from all the necessary strands of engineering. You’ll develop robotic and mechatronic systems for a range of applications including modern manufacturing, aerospace and the nuclear industry.
- The extra year’s study on this MEng option leads to a deeper understanding of the subject and its real-world application. You’ll work on a wider range of projects, including group work involving our professional partners - BAE Systems, CISCO, NASA, the NHS and the Northwest Aerospace Alliance among others.
**Why study with us**
- Gain access to cutting-edge resources through our Advanced Digital Manufacturing Technology (ADMT) facility.
- Optional modules enable you to select specialist topics according to your interests, and tailor your programme of study to your own aspirations.
- As well as hands-on technical skills you’ll develop the critical decision-making, creative thinking and problem-solving skills you need to succeed in the workplace.
**Further information**
- An optional 48-week placement with a company is assessed by portfolio and contributes to the course outcomes. You’re responsible for identifying and winning the placement, but the University supports this via links to industry and through the provision of training in application and interview skills.
- Our placement tutors have close links with industry and can work with you to ensure that you get the skills and current knowledge desired by employers.
- One of our recent graduates worked for a year at Siemens in Germany. The University has links with companies worldwide, and can arrange for work experience in the UK or abroad.
- Placements are a great way to consolidate your first two years of learning, gain experience, and radically enhance your employability.
