What you will study

Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Robotic Engineering

The BEng Robotic Engineering will equip students with the knowledge and skills to contribute to this rapidly-changing and innovative industry, or to academic research in the area. The course uniquely combines electrical engineering and computer science, allowing students to gain both theoretical and practical knowledge in areas such as navigation, motion control, sensory perception, autonomous decision making, and machine learning, so that they can develop their own robotic systems.

High programming skills are developed on this course, as well as essential knowledge of areas of robotics and artificial intelligence. Students’ course therefore covers areas including:

• Java and C++ programming • Sensors, motion control algorithms, and high level cognition in robotic systems • Computer vision and digital signal processing • Artificial intelligence and intelligent agents • Computer games modules

Based in the School’s world-class research lab facilities, students will be able to obtain hands on experience, test their inventions, and engage in the state of the art robotic research.

The School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s robotics engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. They are home to many of the world’s top engineers, and their work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.

They are ranked top 25 for electronic engineering (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020).
