Be part of the robotics revolution, enabling them to come 'alive' with the ability to think and make decisions that assist human activity. Working hands-on with robotics from the start, you'll learn how to program various hardware and software for real-life case studies, such as a discovery robot that you'll make navigate and interact with its environment through a range of sensors, including infra-red, sonar, cameras and GPS. You'll gain the problem-solving skills that are crucial to engineering, and in your final year you will deepen your understanding of the subject by carrying out a major piece of research.

The extension of robotics and automation in everyday life means you could be making your mark in food engineering, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, defense technology or agriculture. With plenty of experience and understanding of the hardware and software typically used in real-life working environments, you'll fit right into robotics and computer engineering companies, big or small. You could also set-up your own business, providing tailored solutions to companies in need of efficient programmable robotic machines.
