About The Programme
Mobility, healthcare, agriculture, and more—supply chains across the globe are becoming more and more dependent on robotic technology. Robots are creating faster, more efficient ways to design, construct, monitor, inspect, and transport with precision and agility. Robots may be programmed to take on many roles, yet industries still rely on talented professionals to design, test, and build this technology and ensure safety and reliability. Robotics is a huge and rapidly growing market, with vast career potential for those with the right expertise.
The IU Bachelor in Robotics combines know-how from mechanical, electrical, and control engineering with the basics of computer science, data science, and artificial intelligence. Through our mix of theoretical principles and practical projects, you will acquire all the necessary skills to build a career as a robotics specialist. Our programme prepares you with relevant technical skills, hands-on experience, and contextual knowledge of the latest technology and industry trends. Gain a solid foundation in the fundamentals of robotics and expert insights into the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation.
