The importance of robotics can't be understated I think and the fact that the University is now starting that is really really cool.

0:09

It's just so wide-ranging.

0:11

We cover everything from the basic maths principles to digital systems which is kind of a mix between logic and electronics and then there's the programming and robotics side of things.

0:19

The student will learn quite a lot, circuit analysis, mathematics.

0:23

There's so many different things you can do and then when it comes to second and third year you can kind of specialise and choose your modules.

0:28

The big privilege of the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ is the hands-on environment and learning conditions that we have.

0:36

Sixty to seventy percent of your final grade is based on hands-on activities.

0:41

There's two different programming languages that we learn.

0:43

We get to play around with these robots.

0:46

Our coursework this year involves looking at energy efficiency of houses.

0:49

We as a society are going to use more and more AI techniques.

0:52

Everyone knows about the rise of AI and artificial intelligence and how important that's going to be so to be able to prepare students for that is a really cool initiative.

1:02

We have invested millions of pounds for new facilities including the robotic arms.

1:08

Well here the Robotics Lab is a great facility.

1:11

There's also which has been newly developed which is the Space Engineering Lab.

1:15

We've just been in the Physical Electrical Lab for electronics engineers building a DICE project.

1:22

We encourage all of our students to spend at least ten months to one year in the different industries around us.

1:31

These industries are space sector, healthcare, the manufacturing and industrial sector and also there are the autonomous transportation sector.

1:43

I'm always going to like different conferences and seeing what's happening.

1:46

Portsmouth is quite well positioned in the South Orbit Cluster which is a sort of group of universities and private companies that come together and do different things.

1:54

It's specific to space but there's also a lot going on in the whole engineering sector.

1:57

Portsmouth is a very nice city for you to study and you have a very beautiful scenery around you.

2:02

It's a bit of a different experience but I love being on the seafront.

2:05

It's really beautiful city.

2:06

It's got great places to go to.

2:08

It's also just got the Space Mission Incubator that's recently developed here.

2:11

So it's a really cool time to be at Portsmouth.
