Automation technology and robotics

The automation of their production processes is an important competitive factor for all branches of industry in Germany. The degree course takes the ongoing trend towards automation, robotization and digitalization of the economy and society very much into account.

Practice-oriented and future-oriented studies.

The regional economy in particular has a high demand for graduates of this course. Electrical engineers with in-depth knowledge of automation technology and robotics make a significant contribution to constantly improving the quality and efficiency of production. They are therefore more in demand than ever.

"Automation technology and robotics" sounds exciting, but is it (still) too early to really start studying?

As an export nation in plant and mechanical engineering and automotive production, Germany has a high demand for specialists in the field of robotics and automation. A large number of employees work in the field of electrical automation technology, e.g. in the manufacture of control and switching devices or in image processing. Automation specialists are just as important for manufacturers of production facilities, in automotive production and for specialists in mechanical engineering, such as machine tool manufacturers. In the next few years, far more engineers will be leaving the profession than are currently being trained. The degree course aims to help close this gap.

After successfully completing their Bachelor's degree, good graduates have the opportunity to gain further qualifications with a Master's degree. The Master's course follows on directly from the Bachelor's course. Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers several Master's degree programs for this purpose: Here for an overview. Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers an interesting model with the so-called Project Master: Master's students work for three semesters on a scientifically demanding project, which can be based either at the university or with an industrial partner. The students are continuously supervised by a professor while working on the project.

The study plan provides an overview of the structure of the degree program. The module handbook provides information on the content of the individual modules. The study and examination regulations form the legal basis of the degree program. Questions about the content of the course will be answered by the course advisor Prof. Dr. Matthäus Brela.
