This integrated programme 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 programme 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-the-art equipment will give you practical skills. The programme 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.
The programme is built with a focus on employability, ethical and social entrepreneurship. Students will be encouraged to gain industry experience through an optional placement year.
The programme is designed to allow accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, thus establishing graduates on the path to becoming a Chartered Engineer. Upon graduation, you will be ideally placed to start a successful career in this booming sector. You 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.

Building on a broad and deep understanding of topics covered in the first 3 years of the programme, year 4 will allow you to develop mastery and advanced skills across complex and core topics in electronics and computer processing. A group development project will give you the opportunity to bring together many of the topics covered on the programme, as well as allow investigation of a particular interest or area of development. Outside of these core aspects, there will be opportunities to explore in greater detail topics ranging from artificial intelligence, applications of robotics, sensors and actuators, advanced electromechanical systems design, as well as considering ethical and professional issues of systems design. There is also an opportunity to undertake a short industrial placement, which can often prove very useful in securing future employment.
