How you learn
All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.
You’ll apply your knowledge and skills to real-world contexts – actively engaging in live projects, field trips, networking events and competitions. These experiences will enhance your employability, deepen your understanding of the engineering and management fields, and prepare you to thrive in a dynamic and competitive professional landscape.
Automation, control and robotics are subjects built on solid engineering principles, which you’ll actively engage and reflect on as you progress through the course. To support this, we’ll help you with your learning in a range of ways.
You learn through:
-
Lectures
-
Tutorials and seminars
-
Laboratory sessions
-
Problem-based sessions
-
Practical activities
-
Group and individual project work
-
Mentoring new students
Key themes
The course covers a wide range of important topics in automation, control and robotics. These range from control systems, advanced control methods and industrial robotics to mobile robots, industrial automation and artificial intelligence.
