Robotics and Embedded Systems Engineering (with integrated year in industry)

Kickstart and enhance your career prospects with our five-year Masters of Engineering degree in Robotics and Embedded Systems Engineering with an integrated year in industry. This degree at Aberystwyth University is concerned with building physical systems involving software, electronics, sensors and actuators.

If you wish to study the building and running of physical systems involving computerised sensing and control, then this exciting course may be for you. It allows you to integrate four years of undergraduate study (including a year in industry) with a further year of postgraduate level study, leading to the qualification of Master of Engineering (MEng).

Upon successful completion of this degree, you will have the industrial experience that employers are seeking. This course is ideal if you aspire to a career as a research scientist in this area or just wish to take your knowledge and skills to a higher level. The advantage of choosing an integrated Masters degree is that you can apply for a five-year student loan for the full duration of the course, rather than seeking funding for a Masters after completing your first degree.
