Mathematical Methods I (MATH051)
This module is intended to show how mathematics is a fundamental part of the world of engineering, science and computing as well as of the world around us. Assuming a base of GCSE grade C, the lectures and assessments are designed to lead to an understanding of the application of mathematics to GCE A Level grade C and above.
Mathematical Methods II (MATH053)
This module is intended to show how mathematics is a fundamental part of the world of engineering and science as well as of the world around us. It extends the mathematics taught in MATH051 to include complex numbers, differential equations and numerical methods.
Applied Mathematics (MATH058)
This module provides an introduction to applied mathematics. The focus of the module is on the use of mechanics to solve basic problems of an engineering and scientific nature in the real world. Topics studied are: modelling; forces; vectors; kinematics in one and two dimensions; Newton's laws; moments and energy.
Physics I (PHYS050)
This module provides an introduction to physics and its applications in science and engineering. This module assumes little previous knowledge of physics.
Physics II (PHYS051)
This module continues the work in Physics I, providing an introduction to physics and its applications in science and engineering.
Robotics (ROCO051)
The module introduces basic electronics with applications to control of robotics. Lectures, laboratory measurements and practical construction experience underpin the learning. Lecture materials have a close link with practical works in the laboratory.
Every undergraduate taught course has a detailed programme specification document describing the course aims, the course structure, the teaching and learning methods, the learning outcomes and the rules of assessment.
The following programme specification represents the latest course structure and may be subject to change:
The modules shown for this course are those currently being studied by our students, or are proposed new modules. Please note that programme structures and individual modules are subject to amendment from time to time as part of the University’s curriculum enrichment programme and in line with changes in the University’s policies and requirements.

"I've had the opportunity to meet multiple people in the industry, all of them have seemed very interested in my project which was a great relief as the nature of my project is quite niche and I was curious about the actual industry applications"
"I would say be as ambitious as you want, you can almost guarantee you can make it, you just have to be determined"
After starting my foundation year in Robotics, I’ve received so much amazing support. Not having a background in mathematics or science hasn’t been a problem as lecturers are always friendly and on hand to help. The quality of online learning has been excellent, and I have been easily able to access help with course content through zoom revision sessions and emails
