MA/MS in Robotic Systems Engineering

Robotic Systems Engineering is a full-time, English-taught master's delivered on the Aachen campus through RWTH International Academy, led by the university's Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics & Robotics. It gives multidisciplinary training spanning mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science to prepare specialists for cyber-physical and robotic systems used in manufacturing, automobiles, micro-electronics and aerospace. Students choose between an Industrial Track and an Academic Track, studying how computer vision works, the dynamics of interacting rigid bodies, machine learning methods, and advanced techniques in robot kinematics, plus sensor systems, mechatronics, production-control methods and industrial logistics, with input from the faculties of electrical engineering, mathematics and business alongside mechanical engineering. Admission requires a first university degree plus either a qualifying GRE score (minimum 145 verbal, 160 quantitative, 3 analytical writing) or completion of the German Engineering College program, at least six months of relevant work experience, and a B2 English certificate. Non-EU applicants must apply by March 1 and EU applicants by July 15; additional tuition fees apply beyond the standard fee.
