Robotics and autonomous systems (B. Eng.)

To what extent can a robot make decisions autonomously?

Robots learn through programming, imitation and, in particular, through the use of artificial intelligence. The Bachelor’s degree in Robotics at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences (THI) therefore equips you with skills in mechatronics and computer science:

In the first stage of the programme, you will learn the fundamentals of programming and engineering mathematics, as well as the basics of electrical engineering, engineering mechanics, engineering informatics, sensor technology and digital signal processing.

The second stage of the programme takes you further into the subject matter. The curriculum here includes, amongst other things: the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, control engineering, actuator technology, image processing and machine learning, modelling and simulation, industrial robots, mobile robots and human-robot collaboration.
Through a practical semester, you’ll also establish early contacts with companies, as well as through an industry-oriented Bachelor’s thesis, which rounds off your degree.

Once you have successfully completed your degree, as a robotics engineer you will have career opportunities in numerous sectors: in mechanical and automotive engineering, in the aerospace industry, in the microelectronics and electrical industries, in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, as well as with manufacturers of control systems and in service robotics for social applications and care. The job prospects and earning potential are very good.

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.

Quick Info

Application period for the winter semester is May 2nd to July 15th.

Please consider that the online application is only possible in this space of time - applications which reach the university later than that cannot be taken into consideration.

Please find further information on application for bachelor study courses.

The dual studies programme enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).

More info on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.

We look forward to receiving your application!
