What you will study

Stage 1 is common across all engineering degrees and provides a strong foundation in core engineering principles. You will develop essential skills in mathematics, physics, programming, and electrical and mechanical systems. Through hands-on labs and team-based projects, you’ll begin to apply theory to practice while building confidence in problem-solving, communication, and design-laying the groundwork for more specialised study in robotics and related disciplines in later stages.
