Robotics, Bachelor of Engineering

These are the prerequisites for the Bachelor Robotics

With your bachelor's in robotics, you'll work as a robotics project manager, for example.

You can be admitted to the part-time Robotics distance learning programme at IU International University of Applied Sciences if you have either a Abitur (the general university entrance qualification), a subject-restricted Abitur or the subject-linked university entrance qualification.

In addition, you can also study Robotics without an Abitur. In order to be admitted to the IU distance learning programme without an Abitur, you must present a completed advanced training course, for example as a state-certified business economist, or a master craftsman's certificate. You can also be admitted if you have completed vocational training and worked full-time for at least 3 years following this training.

This is the content of the Robotics online degree programme

This Bachelor's degree at IU comprises about 31 modules, which you take and complete in the course of 6 semesters of standard study time. Each module has a scope of 5-10 credit points (ECTS) and concludes with an examination such as a term paper or an exam. In total, you will earn 180 credit points from module to module and from semester to semester.

The typical study plan for full-time studies in Robotics is as follows:

• Semester 1: Introduction to Robotics, Introduction to Scientific Work, Mathematics Fundamentals II, Science and Engineering Fundamentals, Mathematics: Linear Algebra, Fundamentals of Design
• Semester 2: Manufacturing Processes Industry 4.0, Introduction to Programming with Python, Mathematics: Analysis, Engineering Mechanics: Statics, Electrical engineering, Project: Construction with CAD
• Semester 3: Sensors, Signals and Systems, Mechanics - Kinematics, Mechanics - Dynamics, Collaborative Working, Robot Programming with C/C++
• Semester 4: Mechatronic Systems, Control Engineering, Project: Modelling and Simulation of Robots, Project: Introduction to Robot Control, Embedded Systems, Project: Robotics
• Semester 5: Seminar: Human-Machine Interaction, Project: Applied Robotics with Robotics Platforms, Seminar: Robotics and Society, Machine and Plant Safety, Compulsory Elective Module A
• Semester 6: Compulsory elective module B, Compulsory elective module C, Bachelor thesis

The special feature of the Bachelor's degree programme in Robotics at IU is the many opportunities to delve into topics according to one's own interests and professional fields in the compulsory elective area.

As first specialisation you can choose from these exciting modules: Introduction to Cognitive Robotics, Industrial Robotics and Automation Technology, Service Robots.

As a second specialisation you choose one of these study modules: Industrial Robotics and Automation Technology, Service Robots, Introduction to Cognitive Robotics, AI Specialist, Autonomous Driving, Data Science and Deep Learning, Python for Software Engineering, IT Security, Mobile Software Engineering, Studium Generale, Foreign Languages.

This is how flexible the standard period of study is in the Robotics distance learning programme

At IU International University of Applied Sciences, you can choose one of 3 study models for your part-time distance learning programme:

• In the full-time study, the standard period of study is 6 semesters or 36 months. You can extend the standard period of study by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. The full-time study programme in Robotics is particularly suitable for those who do not work or only work a few hours a week.
• In the Part-time study I, the standard period of study is 8 semesters or 48 months. You can extend the standard period of study by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time study I is suitable, for example, if you work part-time while studying.
• In Part-time study II the standard period of study is 12 semesters or 72 months. You can extend the standard period of study by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time study II is particularly suitable if you are heavily involved in your career in addition to your distance learning.

By the way, you can also take a vacation semester during the course of your studies, at no additional cost.

How does online study at IU work?

A study programme that adapts to your life: In online studies at IU, you learn flexibly and digitally when you want to learn and where you want to learn.

There is no compulsory attendance in the Robotics distance learning programme at IU International University of Applied Sciences - you learn continuously from home, in the library of your choice or wherever you can learn best.

You take your modules and courses when you want. This means that you can generally arrange your study plan and semester schedule flexibly yourself.

Central to the IU distance learning program are your interactive learning scripts. You receive the scripts in printed form as well as digitally as a PDF and for your tablet. The smart IU Learn app gives you access to both the scripts for your Robotics degree program and scripts from all other distance learning programs at IU.

You can also access supplemental materials, such as videos, through myCampus, IU's online campus. You can exchange information with your lecturers and fellow students in live virtual formats, for example, via the interactive courses.

And exams? If you wish, you can write them as online exams. You can take an online exam around the clock as soon as you feel sufficiently prepared for the subject matter. Alternatively, you can write the exam at one of the IU's numerous exam centers throughout Germany.
