What you will study

Stage 1 is common across all engineering degrees and provides a rigorous foundation in mathematics, physics, programming, and electrical and mechanical systems. Students on the MEng Robotics pathway are encouraged to engage with greater depth and independence. Through hands-on labs and collaborative design challenges, you'll apply theory in practical contexts while developing analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills-forming a strong platform for advanced study in robotics and intelligent systems.
