Career Relevance

After completing your bachelor's degree in robotics, you’ll be an expert in your field and highly employable for all kinds of roles. You might enter the field of automation technology in aerospace or automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, or optimise systems and processes for logistics.

Robotics Engineer

As a specialist in robotics, you’ll design machines and system components. You make precise calculations for components, develop robot applications and software solutions, and support innovative new processes. You’re responsible for the simulation and optimisation of robots, as well as the development and support of test applications for robotics.

Project Lead Robotics

With our degree, you’ll also gain the knowledge needed to skillfully manage projects in robotics. As a Project Manager or Project Lead in Robotics, you ensure smooth running of the projects and coordinate teams and department to make sure goals are achieved. You will create schedules and communicate with customers, suppliers and partners—all with an expert foundation of knowledge to draw on.

Automation Engineer

As an automation engineer, you optimise control and regulation processes, particularly in large plants or manufacturing facilities. You develop solutions to ensure all processes run safely, reliably, and at maximum efficiency—relying on automation technology. In addition, you are involved in product development through automated tests and carry out quality control.

The Bachelor programme in Robotics lays the proper foundation for a fantastic career in robotics.

• Focus on the design and simulation of robotic structures and learn to program with Python.
• Acquire knowledge of drive technologies in mechatronics, control engineering, and integrated systems as well as understand the effects of robotics on society.
• Test robotic concepts, simulation and drive technologies, and control systems in practice and choose to specialise in industrial and automation technology, service robotics or cognitive robotics.
