What you will study

MEng Robotics with Industrial Placement Year's structure is reflective of how broad-based robotics is as a discipline, addressing core engineering topics while emphasising the application of these topics in robotics contexts. The first 2 years of the course consider the foundations of mechanical engineering among other engineering disciplines, sharing some content with our mechanical engineering courses. This fundamental knowledge is then supplemented by robotics-specific modules, helping you to contextualise these principles in robotics environments.
