BEng Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

The BEng Robotics and Artificial Intelligence course at the University of Portsmouth can be studied in two ways: full-time for three years, or as a four-year "sandwich" course which includes time working in a company. This course teaches students how to create intelligent and efficient apps, processes, and machines. It mainly focuses on using automated systems and machine learning in today's industries. Students will learn coding, how to use machine learning rules, and how to design actual robot systems to fix problems in different businesses.

The course also looks at the right and wrong sides of AI and robotics, and the maths involved. It shows the need to create technology in a careful and responsible way for areas like factories, government, research, and electricity. A very important part of learning is getting practical experience. Students use robotics kits and AI tools in computer labs, which helps them gain direct, useful skills.

The University of Portsmouth aims to give its students a full and well-rounded learning experience. The university has modern buildings and equipment, like a new Robotics and Automation Laboratory that cost £5.8 million. It teaches using a "blended" approach, which means it combines different ways of learning.

The university also offers many types of help for its students. This includes personal tutors, teachers who help with learning, staff in the labs, tutors for academic skills, and support for mental health and general well-being. There is also help for students with disabilities, library assistance, and a Maths Café. On top of the engineering programme mentioned, the University of Portsmouth has many other courses for both first degrees and higher degrees across a wide range of study areas.

Candidates are required to submit a personal statement in which they discuss their reasons for applying for the course and other necessary information about their studies. A relevant academic and/or employer reference is also required. Students have the option to upload their CV along with their applications to show their work experience.

Grade Requirements:

• To get into this course for a September 2025 or 2026 start, applicants will need 112 to 120 UCAS points. These points can come from two or three A levels, or other qualifications that are considered equal.
• Applicants' qualifications should include a subject that is relevant to the course. The university also looks at personal situations and other things besides just exam grades when deciding whether to offer the student a place.

English Proficiency:

• Applicants from a non-English speaking background need a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 overall, with no part of the score below 5.5, or an equivalent accepted English language qualification.
• If applicants do not meet these language requirements, pre-sessional English programmes are available to help them prepare.

The tuition fee for International Students taking the BEng Robotics and Artificial Intelligence course is £20,200 per year.

The University of Portsmouth provides various scholarships and financial awards that can help students manage their university fees. These different types of support, which include bursaries and scholarships, are there to make studying more affordable for students. By checking the university's main scholarships and fees sections, students can discover a wide range of funding opportunities. These might include scholarships based on academic excellence, financial need, or specific subject areas. It is always a good idea to look into these options early in the application process, as some scholarships may have specific application requirements or deadlines. Finding the right scholarship can greatly ease the financial burden of university education.
