Entry requirements

General entry requirements

• UK: 2:2 undergraduate degree or above. • Required subject: Degree should normally be in Robotics, Mechatronics or Control Engineering. • Pakistan: 4-year Bachelor's with 60–65% / CGPA 2.4–2.6, depending on university. • Other professional qualifications/experience of equivalent standing may be considered. • Applications are assessed individually. ⚠️ For your BScS/Computer Science Unlike Sussex Data Science MSc, this course does not specifically list Computing/Computer Science as an accepted subject. Sussex specifically asks for Robotics, Mechatronics or Control Engineering. So with a BScS/Computer Science degree, you should get confirmation from Sussex before applying that your background meets the subject-specific requirement.
