Why study this course?

Designed to provide you with specialized knowledge and skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, encompassing related technologies such as sensors, actuators, control systems, Internet of Things, software programming, and user-centred design. You will gain valuable experience through hands-on learning in dedicated laboratories and immersive learning environments.

This course has been meticulously designed to provide students with comprehensive technical knowledge, hands-on experience, and a diverse set of transferable skills. It equips them to excel in industries such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and technology, where the demand for highly skilled engineers is growing rapidly. These industries rely on the expertise of engineers to create and implement AI systems, autonomous robots, and cybernetic solutions.

The course focuses on developing proficiency in robotics, sensors, actuators, control systems, networking, and artificial intelligence for various engineering applications. The first two years of the course lay a solid foundation in subjects essential to all engineering disciplines, encompassing Electronic Systems, Programming, AI, Microprocessors, Embedded Systems, and Network Engineering. In the third year, students have the opportunity to specialize in a specific area within AI and Robotics, which includes Applied Robotics, Computer Vision, Bio-inspired AI and Security, Sensors, Actuators, and Control. This year also involves an individual project. The choice of the project topic is not prescriptive, and we encourage students to select a subject of mutual interest to both themselves and their supervisor.

Our modules are taught through a mix of traditional lectures, interactive tutorials, lab-based workshops, and blended learning methods. Students can access teaching materials and supplementary resources through the university's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) network, including platforms like WebLearn and Blackboard, as well as the school's web server. We employ various effective blended learning approaches and technologies to enhance and support student learning.

The course employs a variety of assessment methods, including class tests, theory and practical examinations, coursework (via logbooks, case studies, laboratory reports, posters, and artifacts), and viva examinations. Detailed information regarding the assessment methods and marking criteria for each module at every level is readily available in the respective 'Module Guide.' These guides are accessible to students at the beginning of each semester through WebLearn, our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

Every module, whether core or optional, maintains a presence on the VLE, offering students a wealth of comprehensive learning and teaching materials, including workshop exercises. Module leaders actively use this platform to engage with students, providing valuable feedback, guidelines for technical report writing and effective presentations, and supporting the maintenance of logbooks.

Hands-on learning experience

Gain valuable experience through hands-on learning in dedicated laboratories and immersive learning environments.

Preparation for diverse careers

Course details

In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

  • a minimum of 88 UCAS points from an A Level or equivalent Level 3 qualification ( e.g. BTEC National, Subsidiary or Extended Diploma).
  • English Language and Mathematics  at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)

If you don't have traditional qualifications or can't meet the entry requirements for this undergraduate degree, you may still be able to gain entry by completing our Artifical Intelligence and Robotics (including foundation year) BEng (Hons).

Accreditation of Prior Learning

Any university-level qualifications or relevant experience you gain prior to starting university could count towards your course at London Met. Find out more about applying for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

English language requirements

To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Student visa (previously Tier 4) you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. This course requires you to meet our standard requirements.

If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.

There will be a range of assessment methods employed throughout the course, including:

  • In-class assignments
  • workshops
  • presentations
  • formal exams

The choice of assessment methods is deliberate, designed to inspire students to perform at their best and engage in meaningful learning activities.

Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared to pursue rewarding and successful careers in diverse fields, including robotics, automation, manufacturing, aerospace, systems analysis, security, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, you will be equipped to pursue further academic study at an advanced level, such as pursuing MSc or PhD research. In fact, this course will be a gateway to our MSc in Robotics with AI.

If you study your undergraduate degree with us, as a graduate of London Met, you'll be entitled to a 20% discount on a postgraduate course if you continue your studies with us.
* exclusions apply

Please note, in addition to the tuition fee there may be additional costs for things like equipment, materials, printing, textbooks, trips or professional body fees.

Additionally, there may be other activities that are not formally part of your course and not required to complete your course, but which you may find helpful (for example, optional field trips). The costs of these are additional to your tuition fee and the fees set out above and will be notified when the activity is being arranged.
