Overview

Throughout the Robotics, Autonomous and Interactive Systems (Hons) B.Eng programme from Heriot-Watt University Dubai , you’ll be given a background in all three disciplines, along with the opportunity to build integrated systems. In the final year, you can either continue with a broad-based curriculum, or specialise in particular aspects of contemporary robotics.

The teaching philosophy

The philosophy behind all of the programmes is 'learning by doing'. The programmes are designed to be practical and allow students to develop skills beyond traditional academic content.

Students work on both individual and group projects from the third year onwards, providing them with valuable hands-on experience. The projects challenge you to solve a 'real life' problem – such as the project in which our students helped design an electronic egg to monitor penguin incubation.

Employability

Our robotics graduates are highly employable and have progressed to careers in a wide range of industries, working for organisations such as Bosch, Rolls Royce, Leonardo, Mott MacDonald, BP and Texas Instruments.
