Robotics (B. Eng.)

In the Hollywood film "I, Robot", humanoid robots help mankind with everyday tasks. One of them supposedly acts independently and even makes emotional decisions. Fact or fiction?

In the Bachelor's degree programme in Robotics, we take an interdisciplinary approach to improving industrial production and series production, as well as the quality of life for all of us. Robots and cobots, which interact with humans as partners, learn through programming, imitation and, in particular, through the use of artificial intelligence. With a robotics degree, you will be fit in mechatronics AND computer science: you will ensure digitalisation and networking, smooth and reproducible processes in the automotive industry, for example. In medical technology, sensitive microelectronic systems are used as an extension of surgeons or to support carers in their daily work with people.

Fiction becomes fact: Wall-E, left all alone, cleans up the littered earth. Today, robotic systems are already cleaning up beaches and removing plastic waste from the seabed.

What can I do later with a robotics degree programme?

Robotics engineers are employed in companies in various sectors: these include mechanical and vehicle engineering, the aerospace industry, the microelectronics and electrical industries. They are also needed in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries and by manufacturers of control systems. The labour market opportunities and earning potential for our graduates are very good. An internship semester and an industry-related bachelor's thesis establish contacts with companies at an early stage.
