ABOUT
This four-year BEng course will develop your engineering skills in computer software and hardware. The key difference between this and a computer science degree is the focus on engineering systems: electromechanical design, robotics and computer programming for embedded systems. You’ll also carry out an industrial placement to enhance your employability.
Modules are informed by our world-leading research and designed with input from our industry partners, so you’ll have the best start for your career. You’ll use industry-standard equipment and learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.
Our courses share a common first year. You’ll study subjects that are fundamental to computer systems such as mathematics, computing, control, electronics, software and embedded systems.
In the first year, you’ll learn how to control robotic systems and you will work as part of a team to design, analyse and test robots, autonomous vehicles and other complex electro-mechanical systems.
In your second year, core modules cover subjects such as programming (including C++, Python and Java), mathematics and data modelling, signals, systems and communications.
You’ll apply your skills to a practical project, where you’ll design a system using 3D CAD tools. You’ll then build the system in our iForge makerspace. This innovative facility gives you access to 3D printers, laser cutters and more.
Your third year will be spent on your industry placement. This will put your academic study into context, as you gain work experience and improve your employability prospects.
In your final year, specialist modules cover topics ranging from intelligent systems and digital signal processing to system design and security. You can tailor your degree to suit your interests with optional modules.
The highlight of your final year is an individual project. Working closely with one of our world leading academics, you’ll deepen your technical knowledge and develop your expertise in a range of engineering techniques and skills such as project management and communication.
Other options for you:
- Subject to achieving a satisfactory performance you can transfer from the BEng to the MEng degree at the end of the second year.
- You can choose to study a year abroad.
The content of this course is under review and there might be some changes before you start. We’ll publish an up-to-date course description soon.
This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institute of Measurement and Control and the Engineering Council UK.
Modules
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

Graduate careers
Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering
Our courses prepare you for a career where you’ll apply your creative problem-solving skills and your understanding of engineering principles to the real world, while working in multidisciplinary teams. These transferable skills can be applied in many sectors across the breadth of engineering and beyond.
During your degree you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enhance your employability. You can choose to go on a placement in industry, either during the summer or as a year in industry. Or you could consider studying abroad, either for a full year, or as part of a summer school.
We also have extracurricular projects where you can work with other engineering and science students to design and build rockets, submersible robots, autonomous payloads for satellites, rovers and more. You could also take part in a scheme for undergraduates where you work on research projects with academics over the summer period.
Graduates from all of our courses are highly employable and work all over the world for companies such as Arup, Rolls-Royce, Boeing, Jaguar Land Rover, Thales and IBM. They go on to become professional engineers in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, power generation and sustainable energy.
You can expect an above-average starting salary of £27,900 per annum (DLHE, 2017).

accommodation
The international undergraduate and postgraduate students at this university can use different types of accommodation options and live in a safe and vibrant environment to focus entirely on their studies and get the best result, also the students can use the cafes and bars gyms, and other living facilities, on the other hand, they can have an accommodation tour and Sheffield city tour to become familiar with their living environment and make the most suitable decision, as we said, this university offers various accommodation options with different fees like £6,782.58 to £10,210.62 for a rental place in the city for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and they can choose to have a private or shared room.
After Graduation
The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
