Robotics BEng (Hons)

OverviewAdvances in robotics technology continue to push the boundaries of what we previously thought possible. Our degrees equip students with the technical knowledge and project experience for a career as a robotics engineer.Why study BEng/MEng Robotics at Middlesex University?Robotics at Middlesex is available as either a three-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and a four-year Master of Engineering (MEng).The degrees produce professional and competent multi-disciplinary engineers who are specialists in the design and production of robotics products. You will focus on developing systems that control physical motion such as those found in robotic applications and industrial automation, using the latest industry hardware and software equipped in our labs and workshops.To support your career success, you will build a professional portfolio of work throughout your degree and receive regular guest lectures and project feedback from industry professionals, with the option of spending a year on industry placement.Flexible programme designOur suite of Design Engineering courses share a common first year of study, which enable students to experience all aspects of engineering. Depending on your interests, you can then continue with the Robotics Engineering degree or transfer to one of these specialist honours programmes:Design Engineering - Design and implementation of digital systemsMechatronics - Design of electro-mechanical systems using computer control aspectsElectronic Engineering - Developing analogue and digital systemsCourse highlightsYou are encouraged to enter prestigious design engineering competitions to enhance your experience and career prospectsOur dedicated facilities in the new Ritterman Building open in Autumn 2016 and are equipped with industry standard equipment in robotics, electronics, mechatronics, and networking solutionsAll the essential software needed to study the course is provided, including LabVIEW, SolidWorks and STEP-7A year-long work placement is available as part of the courseYou will extend your industry knowledge through our series of weekly guest lectures delivered by some of the UKs leading design experts and companiesIf you apply for our four-year MEng course you will gain a masters qualification as soon as you successfully complete your undergraduate degreeWhichever pathway you choose, you can change to another after your first year. You can also change onto the main Design Engineering pathway after your second year if desiredAs a student of this course you'll receive a free electronic textbook for every module.
