Engineering Mathematics and Technology Study Guide 2025/26
What you can study
Real-world problem solving is a major focus of our curriculum, spanning many different application areas from robotics and social media to medicine and environmental modelling. Our connections with industry through collaborative research and consultancy mean that our courses are relevant professionally.
- artificial intelligence and robotics
- mathematical physiology and medicine
- data science, mathematics, and mathematical and data modelling
- engineering science and scientific computing
Pre-requisites
At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:
- Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
- Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
- Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
- Masters-level units require three years of study in the discipline.
