Bachelor
Robotics (B.Eng.)

The world needs smart people like yourself to develop the complex systems of modern robotics. With your English-language study programme in Robotics, you help shape the future of this innovative field – and are sought-after on the international market! 

How your studies get you ahead: 

• You combine IT basics with knowledge from different technical areas. 

• You become an expert for artificial intelligence, current trends in technology and the Internet of things (IoT). 

• You qualify as an expert for different areas of robotics. 

In the first semester, you will be taught the basics of technical drawing and learn how and where robotic systems are used. You will learn about key requirements for their design and applications, such as Smart Factory. During the second semester, you will receive an overview of the structure and construction of robots, whereby you will deal with Statics, Electrical Engineering and Manufacturing methods. With the help of the CAD software, you will be given a taste of practical experience and the chance to create the mechanical design of a robot.

Given that robots don't simply consist of mobile mechanical structures, your third semester is reserved for dealing with intelligent sensor technologies. The focus here is on the design and simulation of robotic structures. You will also learn how to program with Python. In the fourth semester, you acquire knowledge about drive technologies in Mechatronics, Control Technology and Integrated Systems. Through two projects, you have the opportunity to test robotics concepts, simulation and drive technologies, as well as control systems, in a practical setting. In the fifth semester, you deal with the effects of robotics on society. The sixth semester serves your elective module in the areas of Industry and Automation, Service Robotics and Cognitive Robotics.

Our Bachelor's study programme is modular, i.e. you study based on subject areas that are divided into so-called modules. After successfully completing the modules, you will be credited with ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System), which document your achievements. These ECTS points are internationally comparable and, of course, recognised.

After completing your Bachelor's study programme, you can enter the field of automation technology, in aerospace, the chemical and automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering as well as logistics. For example, you can work as a ...
