As global demand for energy grows, governments and companies are increasingly seeking to reduce the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. It's a major challenge. Our course allows you to study electronic engineering alongside specialist topics in the field of renewable energy systems – so that you can help meet that challenge head on.

Study our four-year Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems degree, which includes a Masters year, and get hands-on from day one. Using our dedicated electronics lab, you'll gain extensive experience of power electronics, electric drives, and solar/wind power test benches.

You'll be able to apply your knowledge to real-life situations, while fine-tuning your technical, business and managerial skills.

Demand for quality healthcare is growing, as rapid advances in treatments and information technologies increase the expectations of patients and healthcare professionals. At the same time resources are limited as budgets are trimmed.

Healthcare leaders now need skills in human and financial resources management, leadership, strategic planning, and organisational design. The ability to manage complex change and organisational decision-making is also key.

This postgraduate MBA will enable you to develop these skills and enhance your capacity to analyse and understand the complex nature of healthcare, and how it is delivered.If you’re a recent graduate, or a professional with experience in the health or social care sector, studying ARU’s MBA Healthcare Management could provide the vital next step in your career. The knowledge and skills you’ll gain on this Masters course, offered at our Chelmsford campus, will open up a range of career opportunities in senior management and leadership roles in the UK and worldwide.

Our BEng (Hons) Electronics and Robotics is designed to put you at the forefront of today’s engineering world.

Placing an emphasis on Industry 4.0 concepts such as digital tools for engineering, the internet of things (IoT), and systematic, project-based approaches, it’ll equip you with skills and knowledge that are in high demand among employers.

Electronics and robotics engineers are required to think originally and critically; work innovatively, creatively and sustainably; and consider the social, commercial, legal and environmental impacts of their work. Throughout the course, you’ll have opportunities to practice these skills, making you well-prepared to enter the workplace when you graduate.You’ll gain experience of every aspect of the development of smart connected electronics and robotics systems today, helping you to discover where your talents and interests lie and determine how you want to use your degree.

Our tutors are dedicated to the subject and want to see you progress. There’s an open door policy, which encourages building strong working relationships with students. You’ll benefit from their industry contacts, which means you’ll start building your own local network while you’re at ARU. You will get real insight during special lectures and seminars led by prominent industry guests. Our dynamic, active learning-based seminars involve the combination of individual research and team work. This approach will help you develop critical thinking and collaboration skills, and give you a chance to reflect on your performance at the end of the session.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of advanced design and analysis techniques, the use of modern materials and manufacturing technology. We’ll expand your knowledge in a wide range of mechanical engineering areas and related fields, giving you the scope to be creative and scientific in equal measure.

Our course will equip you with transferrable skills, including IT and management as well as data analysis. As a result you’ll be highly employable in the mechanical engineering marketplace, with a choice of different careers available to you.

Our facilities include a CAD/CAM centre, industrial-scale CNC milling machine, CNC lathe, rapid prototyping machine, scanning electronic microscope, Instron bi-axial fatigue-testing machine, tensile-testing machine, material-preparation facilities, welding equipment and electronic testing and measuring equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal generating and testing facilities.

Institution of Mechanical Engineers logo
Students completing an IMechE accredited degree are deemed to have met, part or all, of the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer and are in a strong position to move on to achieve professional engineering status after a period of initial professional development in industry. The MSc will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Accredited MSc graduates who also have a BEng (Hons) accredited for CEng will be able to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.

It should be noted that graduates from an accredited MSc programme who do not also have an appropriately accredited Honors degree will not be regarded as having the exemplifying qualifications for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council; they will need to have their first qualification individually assessed through the Individual Case Procedure if they wish to progress to CEng.
