Entry requirements
A level
Including Mathematics and a second science subject, preferably Physics, Electronics, Chemistry or Computing. Excluded subjects - General Studies and Critical Thinking. Please note: You will also be expected to achieve a Pass grade in the practical endorsement for any of the following A levels - Biology, Chemistry, Physics - if taken with one of the Awarding Bodies in England.
Access to HE Diploma
We consider applications from students with the Access to Higher Education Diploma in a Physics and Mathematics based discipline. Entry will normally be to the BEng or BSc. The minimum academic requirement is to achieve 60 credits overall, with 45 credits at Level 3, of which 33 credits must be at Distinction and 12 credits at Merit or higher. Applications are considered on a case by case basis.
We consider applications from students offering an EPQ and may make an alternative offer to include three A levels, one grade lower than our usual requirement, along with a specific grade in the EPQ.
GCSE/National 4/National 5
A minimum of five GCSE passes to include English at grade C or 4 or an acceptable equivalent will be required.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice ([email protected]).

About this course
Get hands-on experience of how of robots and intelligent systems are designed and built, and how they are applied across society.
Real-life robots might be a bit different from the ones on the screen, but they’re completely changing sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, transport, agriculture and energy. Employers globally need people like you to become engineers to build the technology of the future.
Our undergraduate robotics engineering course was one of the first in the UK to provide core robotics education. It combines expertise in mechanical, electronic and computer systems to show you what’s possible. Learn from world-leading experts and use our robotics and artificial intelligence research facilities.
Robotics lab, human-machine interaction arena, rapid prototyping facilities, MakerSpace, computer vision and electronics laboratories – you’ll find everything you could ever want and need here.
Surrounded by experts
You’ll have opportunities to learn robot design and control, computer programming, software engineering, embedded systems and artificial intelligence – the expertise that’s in high demand by leading employers. If you choose the MEng option, you’ll also explore specialised areas such as computer vision, machine learning and real-time control.
Engineers, computer scientists, clinical experts, psychologists and others are all carrying out research at the Centre for Advanced Robotics. Together they’re investigating everything from autonomous systems and cognition to human-robot interaction and medical robotics.
With opportunities to get involved with research, industrial projects and internships, you’ll get all the experience you need to stand out. Decide how you want to make an impact and we’ll help you get there.

What students say
We've crunched the numbers to see if the overall teaching satisfaction score here is high, medium or low compared to students studying this subject(s) at other universities.
How do students rate their degree experience?
The stats below relate to the general subject area/s at this university, not this specific course. We show this where there isn’t enough data about the course, or where this is the most detailed info available to us.
Production and manufacturing engineering
Sorry, no information to show
This is usually because there were too few respondents in the data we receive to be able to provide results about the subject at this university.

Production and manufacturing engineering
What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
Graduates are in significant demand, so unemployment rates are well below the national graduate average and starting salaries are well above average. Much the most common industries for these graduates are now vehicle manufacture - there are not enough people with these degrees to go round and so the big employers tend to take the lion's share at the moment. But pretty much anywhere there is manufacturing, there are production engineers. Bear in mind that a lot of courses are four years long, and lead to an MEng qualification — this is necessary if you want to become a Chartered Engineer.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

This information comes from the National Student Survey, an annual student survey of final-year students. You can use this to see how satisfied students studying this subject area at this university, are (not the individual course).
This is the percentage of final-year students at this university who were "definitely" or "mostly" satisfied with their course. We've analysed this figure against other universities so you can see whether this is high, medium or low.

This information is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), for undergraduate students only.
You can use this to get an idea of who you might share a lecture with and how they progressed in this subject, here. It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
