Educational Aims of the Course
The robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) fuelled by the rise in computer processing power, the profusion ofdata, and the development of techniques such a ‘deep learning’ is undergoing a major transformation. AI-enabled Robots are growing beyond being the workhorses of industrial shop floors, and beginning to assumethe roles of personal assistants, delivery vehicles, surgical assistants, assist doctors with medical diagnoses,exoskeletons, driverless vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others.
Given that Robotics and Artificial Intelligence have an important degree of interdependency, this course bringstogether these two areas, and offers conceptual grounding in intelligent systems, and the chance to applytheoretical knowledge in a practical setting.
An artificial intelligence and robotics degree will provide graduates with a fantastic platform from which toenter a wide range of challenging sectors: such as Finance, Engineering, IT & Technology, Manufacturing &Production, Transport & Logistics, Public Sector, Defense, Healthcare, Entertainment and Science.
What makes this programme distinctive?
The course is taught by experienced academics, who are deeply involved in research and have experience ofcollaborating with industry experts. These academics are also able to transfer their knowledge and skills tothe students. The course also provides the opportunity for students to work with industry on some modulesso that theoretical underpinning is enhanced with real-life experience.
A placement can be undertaken anywhere; local or national for example. During a placement, you will be doingsimilar work to a normal employee of the organisation giving you a unique insight into your chosenprofession or sector, the opportunity to acquire crucial personal skills and also the opportunity to build anetwork of useful contacts.
The team at The Workplace constantly search for new placement opportunities but if you find an opportunitythat interests you or you have been successful in securing one yourself, contact them for further informationand support.
Students choosing to undertake a placement will gain (Sandwich) on their degree classification.

Support with your studies
University Learning Centres are the key source of academic information for students providing access to:
Physical library resources (books, journal, DVDs etc.)Study areas to allow students to study in the environment that suits them best: Social areas, quiet andsilent areas.A wide range of online information sources, including eBooks, e-journals and subject databasesAcademic skills support via the Skills for Learning programmeStudents on campus can attend workshops or ask for one-to-one help on a range of skills such asacademic writing and referencing.Dedicated Subject Pages to enable you to explore key online information sources that are recommendedfor their studies.Physical access to local libraries both in UK and overseas via SCONUL and WorldCat agreements
We also strongly advise you to download to “MyWLV” student app. MyWLV is a single point of personalisedaccess to the variety of systems the University offers. This includes pulling through relevant information (e.g.deadlines, timetables) and linking to underlying systems.
Leave of Absence:
The University allows breaks in learning of up to two years and there is a process for applying for a leave ofabsence, which can be accessed through your e:Vision account. Initially you will need to apply for the leave ofabsence, which could be for medical, parental or personal reasons. A short-term absence, such as annual leave,must not be recorded as a break. The course leader will consider, and where appropriate agree, the leave ofabsence application. A return date will be identified and agreed for a suitable point in the programme.Additional course fees may be incurred as a result of a leave of absence and you are advised to discuss thiswith the Faculty Student Services team prior to application.
Course Specific Support
General University support:
University Learning Centres are the key source of academic information for students. Learning Centresprovide physical library resources (books, journal, DVDs etc.) and offer a range of study areas to allowstudents to study in the environment that suit them best: Social areas, quiet and silent areas. Learning Centresalso provide access to wide range of online information sources, including eBooks, e-Journals and subjectdatabases.
Learning Centres also provide students with academic skills support via the Skills for Learning programme.Students on campus can attend workshops or ask for one-to-one help on a range of skills such as academicwriting and referencing. Students can access a range of online skills material at: www.wlv.ac.uk/lib/skills
The University Student Support website offers advice on a variety of matters (careers, counselling, studentunion advice, etc.) Students can also access these services by booking appointment with the SU, careers,counselling services, etc.
Course Specific Support
At the start of each year of your course you will be assigned a Personal Tutor who will guide you through theinduction process and provide support and academic counselling throughout the year on an appointmentbasis. They should be able to offer you advice and guidance to help you liaise with other staff and supportfacilities in the School and University. You should meet your Personal Tutor at least 3 times a year, whichmust include meetings that you are invited at critical points in your course.
The Faculty Students Services Office (FSSO) provides academic support (along with tutors) and will beaccessible throughout the week on an appointment basis to discuss timetables, requests for extensions,requests for extenuating circumstances, general concerns about study and student life and generalprogramme planning. The FSSO will act as a first point of contact in relation to leave of absence (includingreturning after leave), withdrawal, transferring to another course (internal and external) and changes to modeof attendance. Your Course Leader will also be available thereafter for meetings by appointment (throughSAMS) to discuss leave of absence, withdrawal, transferring to another course (internal and external), changesto mode of attendance, returning after leave of absence and direct entrants.
Subject support:
Tutorials, workshops, seminars and meetings - provide the primary opportunities for students to interact withstaff on topics relating to modules. All modules provide at least one of these forms of face-to-face support.
Formative feedback - tutors provide personalised written feedback on most summative assessments. Themechanism for feedback from purely formative tasks varies between assessments, but will always beprovided in some form. Online formative tasks often provide feedback straight away. On occasions tutors mayprovide generalised verbal feedback to the whole class on points relating to an assessment
Assessment and subject-based surgeries provide additional student support for subjects that students oftenneed extra help with. They are often concentrated around the times when assessments take place. Revisionsessions are provided for many modules that have exam-like tests and enable you to interact with tutors toreview parts of the course. Mock exams and tests may provide opportunities to experience an examinationenvironment before the final summative test and give you feedback on your understanding.
Contact Hours
In higher education, the term ‘contact hours’ is used very broadly, to refer to the amount of time that youspend learning in contact with teaching or associated staff, when studying for a particular course.
This time provides you with the support in developing your subject knowledge and skills, and opportunitiesto develop and reflect on your own, independent learning. Contact time can take a wide variety of formsdepending on your subject, as well as where and how you are studying. Some of the most common examplesare:
lecturesseminarstutorialsproject supervisionsdemonstrationspractical classes and workshopssupervised time in a studio/workshopfieldworkexternal visitswork-based learning (including placements)scheduled virtual interaction with tutor such as on line, skype, telephone
In UK higher education, you as the student take primary responsibility for your own learning. In this context,contact time with teaching and associated staff is there to help shape and guide your studies. It may be usedto introduce new ideas and equip you with certain knowledge or skills, demonstrate practical skills for you topractise independently, offer guidance on project work, or to provide personalised feedback.
Alongside contact time, private or independent study is therefore very significant. This is the time that youspend learning without direct supervision from, or contact with, a member of staff. It might includebackground reading, preparation for seminars or tutorials, follow-up work, wider practice, the completion ofassignments, revision, and so on.
50 Day Engagement:
You will be withdrawn from the University if you fail to engage with the academic requirements of yourcourse of study, within 50 days of the course start date, following repeated and reasonable attempts by theUniversity to contact you.
Course Specific Health and Safety Issues
Course Specific Health and Safety Issues: All students in the faculty of Science and Engineering are requiredto take and pass their Schools/Departments Health and Safety Assessment. All assessments are available viathe Faculty of Science and Engineering Student Information topic in Canvashttps://canvas.wlv.ac.uk/courses/9679 and you will only be allowed to carry out any practical work once youhave passed the relevant assessments. It is essential that you read and understand the relevant codes coveringthe work within your specialist area and that you check them regularly for updates. All assessments shouldbe completed before teaching commences.
Any student who currently has access to a restricted area, such as the Rosalind Franklin Building, via their IDcard will have their access revoked at the start of the academic year unless they have passed their
Schools/Departments Health and Safety Assessment. Students should be aware that any attempt to bypassthe security systems can lead to disciplinary action.
