Bachelor of Engineering - Robotics Engineering

This integrated degree in Robotics Engineering will give students a broad exposure to one of the most dynamic and growing sectors in technology. The unique design of the degree will offer students the opportunity to study the most exciting aspects of robotics and apply them to the design and development of sophisticated autonomous intelligent systems. They 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 industry standard equipment will give students 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. This gives students the opportunity to use advanced technologies, get involved in ongoing robotics projects, and work with over 30 specialist robots such as drones, robotic arms, and life-size humanoid robots.

Students will have access to cutting-edge facilities and to some of the most advanced robots on the market. They 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.

Bridging research and business, the degree includes real-world cases studies and guest lectures from industry experts. They can also take a placement year in industry and join international trips to visit leading companies and research groups. Upon graduation, they will be ideally placed to start a successful career in this booming sector. Graduates will be ready to meet the business needs of companies operating at the cutting-edge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, across a multitude of sectors and subject areas.

This programme is seeking accreditation with the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The course has been designed to meet the needs of accreditation and with a view to back dating the effective date to include all students who graduate from the programme.
