Subject

Mechatronics and 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.

Modules

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.

Assessment methods

This course may be assessed through a variety of means, including in-class tests, coursework, projects, and examinations.

The University of Lincoln's policy on assessment feedback aims to ensure that academics will return in-course assessments to students promptly.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
