About this program

The Master's program in Robotic Systems Engineering (RoboSys) at RWTH Aachen University is designed to equip students with a robust understanding of the intricacies of robotics and its applications in various sectors. Over the course of four semesters, students delve deep into mechanical engineering, focusing on the design, control, and performance evaluation of robotic systems. The curriculum integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications, setting a strong foundation for students to innovate within this exciting field.

In line with the German higher education structure, this program awards ECTS credits, which are essential for understanding the workload and progress in your studies. Students will engage in a mix of modules, ranging from fundamental concepts in robotics to specialized topics. During the program, students will also complete a thesis project, allowing them to explore a specific area of interest and contribute to ongoing research in robotic systems.

A key feature of the RoboSys program is the focus on practical experience. Students are encouraged to undertake internships or practical semesters, which is vital in the German context, especially given the significant role the Mittelstand (small and medium-sized enterprises) plays in the country’s economy. These placements provide real-world experience, enhance employability, and help students build valuable networks within the industry.

This program is well-suited for individuals with a background in mechanical engineering or a related discipline who are passionate about robotics and automation. Graduates will emerge with a diverse skill set, complementing their technical abilities with critical thinking and problem-solving skills, essential in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
