Robotics (Robotik), B.Eng.
Robotics is an innovative and rapidly growing field of technology. Robots can already be found in many areas of industry and daily life and their importance is growing steadily.
Since their large-scale introduction in the second half of the past century, robots have developed into sophisticated and highly complex systems. More than ever, the design and implementation of such robot systems requires sound, academic training. For this purpose, the FHWS has developed an independent and unique Bachelor's degree in robotics in cooperation with industrial partners. The course prepares future robotics engineers with a mix of theoretical and practical teaching content for the challenges of tomorrow and opens the door to a promising field of employment.

How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
The robotics course is divided into three sections. The first section is the basic course from the 1st to 4th semester. Basics from the fields of computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering as well as soft skills are taught. In the subsequent practical semester (5th semester), the students gain professional experience in a company. This is followed by the specialist and advanced studies in the 6th and 7th semester. In this section, students have the opportunity to accentuate their education with lectures from specialist areas of robotics. In addition, the 7th semester includes the preparation of the bachelor thesis.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.

Favored by the digitalization of production (Industry 4.0) and the establishment of components of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a growing need for robots. This is associated with high long-term demand for academically qualified robotics engineers. In addition to robotics, the course also qualifies for cross-sectional activities in the fields of computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
