BSc (Hons) Robotics

Robotics is an interdisciplinary area of computer science and engineering dedicated to the design, construction, and control of intelligent mechanical devices. From agriculture and food production to medical care, robots are being increasingly used around the world to assist or extend human actions, often in repetitive or dangerous tasks.

Our BSc (Hons) Robotics takes a cross-disciplinary approach to robotics, with a focus on innovative project-based learning. The course aims to provide a strong conceptual and methodological grounding in robotics, while offering training in state-of-the-art practices and techniques that can be deployed in the real world.

How You Study

The course focuses on developing specific skills that are relevant for the robotics industry, as well as strategies for expanding knowledge as the field continues to grow. The programme encourages intellectual curiosity, nurturing students' abilities in problem solving and inspiring the next generation of robotics specialists to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.

Throughout the programme, students have the opportunity to develop key transferable skills across a wide range of methods, techniques, and practices required by robotics professionals. These include robot design and control, sensor technology, machine learning, artificial intelligence, autonomous decision-making, and software development.

Career Opportunities

Robotics bridges the gap between mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, opening up opportunities across a range of different careers. Graduates are well placed for positions in manufacturing, technology companies, or medical robotics, or to go into research and development. Students may also choose to continue their study at postgraduate level at Lincoln, including on our MSc in Robotics and Autonomous Systems.
