Duration
4 Years
Our course is for aspiring engineers who want to contribute to the future of the growing robotics and autonomous systems industries. You’ll advance your knowledge in areas of robotics, artificial intelligence and electronics systems at the forefront of engineering and design.
In your first two years, you'll learn core elements of electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering and combine this with aspects of computer science to give you a comprehensive overview of robotics engineering. You'll be supported by, and benefit from, academic staff who are advancing research in our Centre for Autonomous Robotics (CENTAUR).
To become a skilled engineer, you need good technical design knowledge. That’s why our course places project work at the centre of your learning experience. Group projects challenge you to work in teams to solve practical engineering problems using communication, teamwork and management skills. You can also join one of our student teams who compete annually. These include Team Bath Racing Electric, Team Bath Drones and the autonomous underwater systems team.
About this course
Be part of the robotics revolution. Study a progressive area of engineering to pursue a career in robotics and automation.
You’ll graduate with a strong understanding of the operation, components and design techniques of robotics engineering. Your studies will prepare you for a career in robotics and automation in areas such as robotic systems design, autonomous systems and medical robotics.
We work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries worldwide. You’ll graduate with the technical expertise and transferable skills that will open up employment opportunities for you. You can pursue a career in high-technology industries in electronics, power, aerospace, communications, robotics or manufacturing. Or you could find employment in other sectors such as IT, financial services, accountancy, the armed forces or business. Many of our graduates continue their studies to pursue an academic or research career.
You will need a strong performance in both Mathematics and Physics or Engineering as part of your entry qualifications.
