Program Description

The M.Sc. Robotic Systems Engineering program offers qualified training for engineers who wish to specialize in robotics and automation. By combining various engineering disciplines, students gain in-depth insights into the latest techniques in mechanics, electrical drives, sensor technology, and information processing. They learn to develop, implement, and program innovative and intelligent robotic solutions to address pressing global challenges: industrial productivity, energy efficiency, environmental compatibility, health aspects, and mobility services.

Course of Study

The M.Sc. RoboSys is a full-time, on-campus program leading to a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree from RWTH Aachen. Students can choose between two specializations:

1. Industrial Track
2. Academic Track

The curriculum modules include Computer Vision, Multi Body Dynamics, Machine Learning, Advanced Robot Kinematics and Dynamics, Simulation, Robotic Sensor Systems, Advanced Machine Learning, Mechatronics and Control Techniques for Production Plants, Automation Technology for Production Systems, Technology Management, and Industrial Logistics. Detailed information about the program can be found on the RWTH International Academy website.

Prerequisites

A prerequisite for starting the program is a first university degree that demonstrates the necessary subject-specific prerequisite knowledge as defined in the examination regulations. Additionally, a GRE certificate with minimum scores of 145 VR, 160 QR, 3 AW (only for non-EU applicants) and at least 6 months of professional experience are mandatory admission requirements. Graduates of the Master Qualification Program German Engineering College (GEC) offered by the RWTH International Academy do not need to submit a GRE certificate for their application. The examination committee determines whether applicants meet the admission requirements.

Career Prospects

Graduates of the M.Sc. RoboSys program work in various areas of the "Industry 4.0" theme - whether in research and development, consulting, or production. As robotics engineers, they know how to use robots optimally in operational and production processes and are able to identify future topics, technologies, and developments in the field of robotics. With their in-depth knowledge in the areas of design, manufacturing, production, planning, and management, they are also particularly well-prepared to work in an interdisciplinary manner. The Master's degree from RWTH Aachen also qualifies graduates for a Ph.D.

Examination Regulations

The general examination regulations that apply to all Bachelor's and Master's programs, as well as detailed information on the required proof of language skills, can be found in the Cross-Sectional Examination Regulations. Examination regulations are only published in German, as they are legally binding.

The subject-specific examination regulations govern the study objectives, the structure of the studies, and the examination modalities. The annex contains a description of the modules that make up the program.

Faculty

The M.Sc. RoboSys is an interdisciplinary program under the leadership of the Institute for Gear Technology, Machine Dynamics and Robotics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Lectures and courses are also offered by chairs from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences, and the School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen.

Additional Information

Some of the programs offered by RWTH are provided in cooperation with other (private) institutions. They are therefore not part of the public-law study program and are not subject to the legal regulations, for example, for the allocation of study places. In some cases, they are subject to a fee and require a phase of professional practice.

Binding information on requirements, application modalities, study place allocation, and study content is provided exclusively by the provider, to whom you should also submit your application.
