Robotics Engineering BEng/MEng
(Hons)
This integrated degree in Robotics Engineering will give you a broad exposure to one of the most dynamic and growing sectors in technology.
The unique design of the degree will offer you the opportunity to study the most exciting aspects of robotics and apply them to the design and development of sophisticated autonomous intelligent systems. You will be exposed to a wide range of robotics engineering theories and scientific applications, with consideration for the ethical issues surrounding the sector.
Hands-on experience with state-of-theart equipment will give you practical skills. The degree is integrated closely with the EUREKA Robotics Lab at Cardiff School of Technologies. The Lab is recognised by the UK Government as one of only fourteen specialist research centres in robotics in the UK, and the only leading centre specialised in social and service robotics.
You will have access to cutting-edge facilities and to some of the most advanced robots on the market. You will be able to work with social, service and educational humanoid robots with advanced artificial intelligence features, and robotic arms for industrial robotics research and development.
Typical modules
The degree is based on several compulsory modules across the four years that include, but not limited to:
• Mechatronics
• Engineering Mathematics
• Social Humanoid Robotics
• Robotics and Automation Systems
• Power Electronics and Systems
• Advanced AI in Robotics
• The Internet of Things
Options in years three and four will allow you to develop your specific interests and expertise.
Your future
• Real world experience can be obtained as part of your study completing an optional sandwich year placement/industrial internship.
• The degree is designed to allow accreditation by the Institute of Engineering & Technology, meaning graduates are on the path to becoming a Chartered Engineer.
• The average salary for a qualified Robotics Engineer in 2022 was £39,590 – Glassdoor.
Place of study: Llandaff Campus
Course length: 3-6 years fulltime, dependent upon taking a foundation year (see page 166) and/or year-long sandwich placement
Entry requirements: Typical offer: 112-120 UCAS Points (BEng) 120-128 UCAS Points (Meng)
