Course summary
Learn alongside experts from the world-renowned Bristol Robotics Laboratory, using our state-of-the-art equipment to make and test your own inventions.
Why study robotics?
Robotics is gradually becoming a part of our daily lives, and we are increasingly relying on intelligent systems to perform routine tasks. Robots are being used in a wide range of applications, from unmanned vehicles in aerospace and sub-sea exploration to consumer products, agriculture, manufacturing, and more. The explosion of interest in artificial intelligence is accelerating the adoption of robotics technology in these sectors and beyond. This makes studying in this field very timely, with a high demand for graduates.
Why UWE Bristol?
This programme draws together state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies with experts in many subfields teaching at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and the wider School of Engineering.
You'll get experience in robot control, artificial intelligence, computer vision, electronics and more. The integration of knowledge, skills and practice means that you'll learn to tackle real engineering challenges.
This modern engineering curriculum is designed to attract students from diverse backgrounds who are passionate about the future role of robotics engineering in industry and society.
Where can it take me?
As a student engineer, you'll start your professional journey towards becoming an incorporated or chartered engineer from day one. You'll learn by doing, applying and revisiting your early skills through embedded project weeks and development of digital and physical prototypes, just as you would in practice.
There is an increasing demand for graduates with the technical and creative abilities to work in this industry. You'll be prepared for a rewarding career devising, developing and managing intelligent systems in sectors such as manufacturing, aerospace, healthcare, leisure and the creative arts.
