MEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Robotics (with an industrial placement year)

**About the course**The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree lets you specialise your degree with a range of options and provides you with the educational requirements needed to become a Chartered Engineer. The placement year also gives you the chance to get real work experience for a year in industry, whilst still being supported by the department at Sussex. On this course, you have the opportunity to develop specific expertise in robotics alongside skills in mechanical engineering; making you employable by various sectors, from robot design and development to autonomous cars, robotics, automation, mechatronics, automotive, aerospace, and renewable energies. Our world-class research in robotics, dynamics and control, space systems, sensors, and flexible electronics informs our degrees to give you the best start in your career. You’ll study in our £12-million Future Technologies Labs, which provides a new space for building robots, and programming embedded systems, as well as state-of-the-art computer design and modelling suites. In particular, you will have access to our flexible manufacturing system, industrial robotic manipulator, humanoid robots, fleet of drones, autonomous vehicles, and a real-time motion monitoring system. Dedicated academic advisors will support you during you time at Sussex, and you will be welcomed into our active, student-run engineering societies. **Accreditation** Start your career ahead of the competition with our respected industry accreditation.**About Sussex**Sussex graduates change the world.
