Course Modules

Foundation year
Taught by University lecturers on campus, you’ll be part of the University from day one. You'll study six modules over the foundation year, including mathematical methods, applied mathematics (mechanics), physics and electronics. The year is geared towards helping you to progress onto one of our degrees in electronic engineering or robotics. You'll take about 17 taught hours per week, and put in at least the equivalent number of hours of independent study.

Year 1
From day one of your studies, you will find there is an emphasis on learning by doing. The first year will equip you with the tools to build tomorrow’s technology. Analogue to sense or affect our physical environment, digital to add logic and intelligence to act upon information, and embedded systems to tie these together with computing power. All learned through experience in labs and projects.
