Robotics Engineering

undefined

Overview

Get hands-on experience of how robots and intelligent systems are designed and built, and gain knowledge of how they are applied across society.

Real-life robots might be a bit different from the ones on our screens, but they’re completely changing sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, transport, agriculture and energy. Global employers need people like you to become engineers, to build the technology of the future.

Our undergraduate robotics engineering course was one of the first in the UK to provide core robotics education. It combines expertise in mechanical engineering, electronics and computer science to show you what’s possible in this field. Learn from world-leading experts and use our robotics hub, rapid prototyping facilities, Makerspace and Electronics Laboratory.

Surrounded by experts

You’ll have opportunities to learn robot design and control, computer programming, software engineering, embedded systems and artificial intelligence – expertise that’s in high demand. If you choose the MEng option, you’ll also explore specialised areas such as computer vision, machine learning and real-time control.

Engineers, computer scientists, clinical experts and psychologists are all carrying out research with the Centre for Advanced Robotics. Together they’re investigating everything from autonomous systems and cognition to human-robot interaction and medical robotics.

With opportunities to get involved with research, industrial projects and internships, you’ll gain the experience you need to stand out. Decide how you want to make an impact and we’ll help you get there.

Professional recognition

Our Robotics Engineering programmes have been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Our BEng programmes partially meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Our MEng programmes fully meet the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Structure

You can complete your Robotics Engineering degree in three, four or five years.

Study options

Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.

Integrated foundation year

Students who do not have the required high school qualifications for admission to this degree, or who do not meet their UCAS conditional offers, may be considered for our foundation year.

You will enrol onto Engineering BEng with Foundation. Successful completion of the foundation year will offer progression to BEng or MEng Robotics Engineering.

International students who may not have had the chance to study A-level equivalent qualifications may qualify for our one-year International Science and Engineering Foundation Programme, commonly known as the ISEFP.

On successfully completing the ISEFP, and subject to meeting the progression requirements, you are guaranteed a place on your chosen degree programme at Queen Mary.

Year in industry

Apply for our Robotics Engineering BEng or MEng with Industrial Experience to spend a year on placement, gaining practical experience and building professional contacts.

The industrial experience year can be taken in Year 3 or 4 of a BEng programme or Year 3, 4 or 5 of an MEng programme.

So far, the following employers are taking Engineering and Materials Science students on for placements in 2025/26: GE, Redbull, Leonardo - Edinburgh, AWE, GE, Airbus, GSK, Roche, Airbus, UKRI-STFC, AtkinsRealis, TFL, Lloyds Banking Group - Edinburgh, Cummins, Mercedes, Francis Crick Institute, Markel, GSK, Siemens Healthineers, Cummins, Deloitte, P&G.

Please note that industrialplacements are highly competitive and awarded based on application, academic track record and performance at interview.

Master of Engineering (MEng)

Add on an integrated masters to complete advanced modules and a high-level group project.

Year abroad

Go global and study abroad as part of your degree. Queen Mary has links with universities in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).

Find out more about study abroad opportunities at Queen Mary, including the progression requirements.

You can do either a year in industry or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.

Testimonial

"This programme has equipped me with an exceptional set of fundamental skills highly sought after by employers. What sets this degree apart is its versatility, combining Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and AI/Computer Science, paving the way for a multitude of opportunities post-graduation."

Teaching

Teaching and learning

You'll learn through a combination of lectures, laboratory practicals and problem-based learning.

You should plan for 14-17 hours of formal teaching each week, plus time spent on group projects. For every hour spent in class, you’ll complete a further one to two hours of independent study.

Assessment

Assessment typically includes a combination of coursework, written reports, projects, presentations, group work and exams in the summer.
