The Robotics with a Foundation Year at the University of Sheffield is your pathway into the dynamic field of mechatronic and robotic engineering, ideal if you do not yet meet the entry requirements for direct entry. This comprehensive undergraduate degree is designed to equip you with the foundational knowledge in mathematics, physics, and engineering principles necessary to excel. You will explore core concepts that underpin modern automation and intelligent systems, preparing you for a future where robotics plays an increasingly vital role across industries.
This full-time, four-year on-campus programme begins with a dedicated foundation year, after which you will progress to the BEng Mechatronic and Robotic Engineering. You will gain hands-on experience through practical projects, utilising industry-standard equipment and our iForge Makerspace for robot building and 3D CAD design. Your studies will encompass programming, mechanical design, and intelligent systems, culminating in specialist modules in robotics and machine learning. You will graduate with the skills to pursue careers in advanced manufacturing, industrial control, and cutting-edge robotics development.
