BEng Computer Networking and Cloud Security including foundation year

The BEng Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (with Foundation Year) at London Metropolitan University gives students a strong grounding in core maths, programming, logic, and foundational ICT before moving into full engineering content. In later years, students study AI, robotics, hardware, embedded systems, sensing, and software design. Learning takes place in well-equipped labs where students build and test systems hands-on, driven by staff with real industry and research experience. This practical approach helps students connect ideas with real-world challenges.

This four-year engineering degree begins with a foundation year and leads to deeper study in AI, robotics, embedded systems, and intelligent design, delivered with hands-on labs and real-world tools right in London. Students are taught through a combination of lectures, hands-on labs, group work, and creative problem tasks. Students use tools from the Cisco Networking Academy and the Palo Alto Networks Academy to gain professional-level experience. Assessments include case studies, lab-based exams, research tasks, group assignments, individual reports, and a final project or dissertation.

London Metropolitan University was formed in 2002 from a merger of London Guildhall and the University of North London, tracing its roots back to the 1840s. It has campuses in Holloway, Aldgate, and Shoreditch, right in the heart of London.

With a richly mixed student population, London Met is well known for its strong support for access and inclusion, offering a lively and welcoming student experience with clubs, societies, and a helpful Student Union. Teaching at London Met focuses on giving students practical skills they can use in real jobs. Teachers bring real-world examples and industry knowledge into class, and learning often includes live projects, workplace links, and lab work that mirror actual engineering tasks.
