During this course, you have the opportunity to develop specific expertise in robotics alongside skills in mechanical engineering; making you employable by various sectors, from robot design and development to autonomous cars, robotics, automation, mechatronics, automotive, aerospace and renewable energies.
Our world-class research in robotics, dynamics and control, space systems, sensors, and flexible electronics informs our degrees to give you the best start in your career. You’ll study in our £12-million Future Technologies Labs, which provides a new space for building robots, and programming embedded systems, as well as state-of-the-art computer design and modelling suites. In particular, you will have access to our flexible manufacturing system, industrial robotic manipulator, humanoid robots, fleet of drones, autonomous vehicles, and a real-time motion monitoring system.
We have dedicated academic advisers to support you during you time at Sussex, as well as a team of student mentors. You’ll also be welcomed into our active, student-run engineering societies, and benefit from our partnerships with:
Women’s Engineering Society
Engineers Without Borders UK
Engineers in Business Fellowship.

Study abroad and Placement
Study abroad (optional)
Employers value graduates who have negotiated their way in the world, experienced different cultures and developed an international perspective.
You can choose to study abroad for a term or for a full year, depending on your course. We offer a huge range of destinations across Asia, Australia, Europe and North, Central and South America.
Study abroad in Europe is supported through the Erasmus+ scheme, a European Commission initiative. As an Erasmus+ student, you can usually benefit from non-means-tested grants.
Industrial placement (optional)
We offer you the chance to take an industrial placement year as part of your course. The industrial placement provides you with the opportunity to spend a year working in industry, in an area relevant to your course, and to receive a salary.
Your time in industry develops your technical, team-working and transferable skills as you apply what you have learned in your studies to a business environment.
A year in industry is a proven way to fast-track your career and both the Department of Engineering and Design and the University’s Careers and Employability Centre provide you with dedicated placement support. This includes guided preparation early in your course to help you find, secure and succeed in your placement.
Many students who undertake an industrial placement perform better academically on their return to their course and are more likely to secure employment as a direct result of their year in industry
You’ll work on a two-term individual project focusing on robotics. This includes training in project planning and management.
Taught topics include:
autonomous vehicles
robot design and implementation
control engineering
dynamics of machines and vehicles.
Gain the skills for a career in engineering, and benefit from our industry links with companies like Jaguar, IBM, Siemens and Thales. The technical, team-working and design skills you develop on this course mean you can go into graduate jobs in sectors including:
aerospace and energy
construction and manufacturing
automotive.
You can also meet graduate employers at careers events. Recent sessions have included talks by IBM and Atkins, and advice on applying for graduate schemes.
