About Robotics Beng in Middlesex University

Why study robotics with us

Our flexible course lets you tailor your studies to gain the skills, project experience and professional networks you need to achieve your engineering career ambitions in the field of robotics – and beyond. With the option to study our robotics course over a three-year (BEng) or four-year (MEng) period, you’ll gain the technical knowledge and project experience that will give you a competitive edge as a robotics engineer.

You’ll explore all aspects of engineering to get a broad understanding of robotics, design, electronics, mechatronics and networking solutions. Using the latest hardware and software, including LabVIEW, SolidWorks and STEP-7, you’ll also learn to develop systems that control physical motion – such as the ones you’ll find in robotic applications and industrial automation.

Build your robotics engineering skills

You’ll have the flexibility to tailor your studies to complement your personal interests and career ambitions. From year two, you’ll have the option to carry on with your BEng Robotics or transfer to a design engineering, electronics or mechatronics programme.

If you’re applying for our four-year MEng course, you’ll also gain your master's qualification as soon as you successfully finish your undergraduate study.

Our weekly guest lectures give you the chance to enhance your industry knowledge and build contacts with some of the industry’s leading experts and companies. They’ll also give you the help, advice and feedback you need to start building your professional portfolio while you study.

Our London location gives you access to industry contacts, work experience opportunities and the chance to showcase your work at design engineering competitions. You’ll also have the option to get a feel for the industry with a paid, year-long work placement.

What will you study on the BEng/MEng Robotics?

Whether you opt for the BEng Robotics or MEng Robotics you will study a broad range of engineering disciplines including systems, mechanical, electrical, computer and control engineering.

You will specialise in the fundamentals of robotics, learning how to model, simulate, design and programme a wide range of robotics tools while gaining an in-depth experience of the software architectures used for complex robotic systems. The course provides a range of practical skills and knowledge required for robotics engineering, including how to engineer systems and develop sensory processing for autonomous robotics.

The MEng Robotics degree allows you to specialise further and give you the option to study new and emerging areas in Robotics. You will demonstrate your advanced skills and mastery of the area by working on a team project in your chosen specialism.

What is the difference between the BEng and MEng course?

There are two honours degree programmes available for each area of study – a three-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and a four-year Master of Engineering (MEng).

Both degrees share a common first year but due to the advanced nature of the MEng programme students must demonstrate they have the high level knowledge and skills required at the end of year 2 and 3 to progress on the programme.

You must apply direct to either the BEng or the MEng, but you can also choose to change programme. You must apply for the MEng in Year 1 if you want to guarantee your student loan will cover the fourth year of fees.

How is the BEng/MEng Robotics taught?

Whether you choose the BEng or MEng you will encounter the same teaching and learning approaches.

You will develop knowledge and skills through a blended learning approach which involves face-to-face sessions (lectures, laboratory sessions and/or seminar sessions), self-directed, resource-based learning, small group discussions, small group and individual exercises, laboratory and workshop sessions, demonstration software, on-line examples and quizzes, group presentations and the research project. Weekly seminar sessions provide the opportunity to address questions, queries and problem solving as well as real life scenarios.

The main project modules bring all the learning together into a practical design and manufacturing exercise.

In the final year of the MEng, you will undertake advanced work and by the end of the final year will demonstrate their mastery of the discipline.

Middlesex University has a flexible and personalised approach to admissions and we accept applications from students with a wide range of qualifications and a combination of qualifications..

You must have competence in English language to study with us. The most commonly accepted evidence of English language ability is IELTS 6.0 (with minimum 5.5 in all components). 

Minimum 55% or above from a Local Board Examination or its equivalent.
