Course Content

Shaping transformation: robots as part of everyday life

This postgraduate programme provides two different tracks to choose from: A) Intelligent Robotics and B) Assistive Robotics.The Master's degree programme Robotics will be based on the content of the Campus Cham - Intelligent Robotics and the requirements of regional companies and will include industrial and/or medical technology applications, for example. Graduates should be able to work both in research and development as well as in industrial applications.

The internationally oriented Master's degree programme enables students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of robotics in general and the use of AI in robotics in particular. By combining teaching content on robotics, systems engineering and human-robot interaction as well as machine learning and computer science, expert knowledge on the fundamental disciplines of intelligent robotics is imparted. In addition, students acquire specialist knowledge in the areas of perception in robotics, modern automatic control and decision-making systems (e.g. motion planning), robot modelling and simulation as well as on the application side in the field of industrial robotics and automation. This enables students to cope with the increased use of robotic systems in industry and to help shape this - from development and commissioning to application and interface analysis through to supporting end users.

Other key course content includes intelligent multi-agent systems and project-based case studies in the field of robot programming (ROS). Students acquire the necessary specialised knowledge, skills and methods to independently apply scientific findings and processes in industry and the service sector.

In addition, students acquire basic knowledge and skills in concepts, results and methods that correspond to the current state of science and allow them to familiarise themselves independently with further technical developments.

Concerning all applications for either semester

  • Shortly after the respective application deadline, you will receive an invitation to the admission test. The test date specified in the invitation is fixed and cannot be changed, as the admission test is held promptly thereafter.

Admission requirements

  • Completion of an undergraduate study programme at a domestic or foreign university (minimum: 210 ECTS) credits in Robotics, Mechatronics or another related study course or a degree equivalent to such a university degree. Based on the documents submitted, the DIT examination board decides on the equivalence of degrees.
  • Additionally, an admission test may be required. This written exam covers key subjects at Bachelor’s level, including mathematics, physics, electronics & electrical engineering, systems theory, control engineering, computer science, robotics, and autonomous systems It is offered both online and on-campus in Cham, ultimately determining your admission to the programme.
  • Applicants having obtained their academic training (e.g., undergraduate degree) in non-member states of the Lisbon convention are recommended - though not required - to submit a GATE or GRE score report as well as a recognized German language certificate (overview of accepted certificates)  to further substantiate their application. Only test-centre versions - no Home Editions - will be taken into account.
