The Robotics with a Foundation Year MEng at the University of Sheffield is designed for aspiring engineers who are passionate about the rapidly evolving field of intelligent automation and wish to build a strong foundation before progressing to a master's level qualification. If you do not yet meet the direct entry requirements for an MEng degree, this programme provides a supportive pathway, integrating essential mathematics, physics, and engineering principles. You will explore core concepts in digital systems, control, and modelling, preparing you for the advanced challenges in robotics, mechatronics, and artificial intelligence that lie ahead in this crucial engineering discipline.
This comprehensive, full-time, on-campus MEng degree is studied over five years, including the foundation year. Your learning journey will involve a blend of theoretical study and practical application, including core modules in areas like machine vision, mobile robotics, and autonomous systems, alongside opportunities for group projects and a substantial final-year advanced project. You will work with industry-standard equipment and learn methodologies such as state-space control design and machine learning. You will graduate with an integrated master's qualification, equipped with the advanced technical skills and problem-solving abilities sought after in sectors ranging from advanced manufacturing and automotive engineering to aerospace and AI development.
