Robotics with a Foundation Year University of Sheffield

Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems.

Become an expert in robotics on this BEng course in mechatronic and robotic engineering, starting with a foundation year.

If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you’ll be able to progress to your main degree courses.

In your foundation year, you'll develop your skills in maths, physics and laboratory work, preparing you to excel in your degree studies. You'll learn with academics specialising in the subject areas, using the same delivery and assessment styles as our degree courses. Project work, both individual and in groups, will also be led by academics.

At the end of your foundation year, you can choose whether to progress to a full degree course in mechatronics, robotics and computer systems engineering. You'll also have the opportunity to put what you have learned into practice during an optional industrial placement year.

A foundation year is an excellent way to prepare for your chosen engineering course and gain access to a top university education.

This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Measurement and Control.
