Informed by our world-leading research and designed in collaboration with our industry partners, this course gives you the best start to your career.You’ll complement engineering skills in computer software and hardware with a deep understanding of systems design. You'll also use industry-standard equipment to learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.The first year gives you solid grounding in theory, with a focus on how to control robotic systems, and opportunities to design and analyse complex electro-mechanical systems as part of a team.In your second year, core modules such as programming (including C++, Python and Java), mathematics and data modelling lead into a practical project – designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building your designs in our iForge Makerspace.Year three will see you combining specialist modules, like intelligent systems and cybersecurity, with a massive range of optional modules, chosen according to your personal passion and career aspirations.This all builds to an advanced project, where you’ll work one-on-one with an academic – deepening your technical knowledge and developing your expertise in a range of engineering techniques.
