The programme utilizes the Collaborative Teaching Laboratory, a flagship STEM teaching facility that provides industry-standard tools and space for interdisciplinary work. Each week you work in labs on practical experiments that directly connect to the theory presented in lectures, reinforcing concepts in areas such as digital design, embedded systems and IoT.

Over the three-year duration you design and deliver Integrated Design Projects, collaborating with peers from mechanical and civil engineering to develop real-world solutions. Core modules include programming, artificial intelligence, electronics and control engineering, while optional modules in the final year allow you to specialise in subjects such as machine learning or intelligent interactive systems. Graduates finish with strong analytical and technical abilities and are prepared for careers in industry or further research.
