BEng Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

University of Portsmouth

Course overview

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.

Entry requirements

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.
