Teaching and learning
We use a mixture of teaching styles – lectures, tutorials, classroom activities and laboratory work.
A typical weekly workload is six to eight lectures and four to five hours of practical laboratories or workshops.
Outside of classes, you’ll need to spend 20 to 25 hours per week preparing, writing and reading.
Assessment
Each module is assessed by written examinations (typically 70% of the final mark) and coursework (practical reports, essays, problem sheets, online exercises and tests).
Resources and facilities
The schools offers excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including:
a state-of-the-art robotics lab for teaching and research, equipped with mobile robots, robot arms and manipulation devices
undergraduate teaching labs
an award-winning Informatics Teaching Laboratory with more than 300 PCs.
