Programme overview for the Bachelor's in Robotics
In the first semester, you will be taught the basics of technical drawing and learn how and where robotic systems are used. You will learn about key requirements for their design and applications, such as Smart Factory. During the second semester, you will receive an overview of the structure and construction of robots, whereby you will deal with Statics, Electrical Engineering and Manufacturing methods. With the help of the CAD software, you will be given a taste of practical experience and the chance to create the mechanical design of a robot.
Given that robots don't simply consist of mobile mechanical structures, your third semester is reserved for dealing with intelligent sensor technologies. The focus here is on the design and simulation of robotic structures. You will also learn how to program with Python. In the fourth semester, you acquire knowledge about drive technologies in Mechatronics, Control Technology and Integrated Systems. Through two projects, you have the opportunity to test robotics concepts, simulation and drive technologies, as well as control systems, in a practical setting. In the fifth semester, you deal with the effects of robotics on society. The sixth semester serves your elective module in the areas of Industry and Automation, Service Robotics and Cognitive Robotics.
Our Bachelor's study programme is modular, i.e. you study based on subject areas that are divided into so-called modules. After successfully completing the modules, you will be credited with ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System), which document your achievements. These ECTS points are internationally comparable and, of course, recognised.
Your career prospects in robotics
After completing your Bachelor's study programme, you can enter the field of automation technology, in aerospace, the chemical and automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering as well as logistics. For example, you can work as a ...
Study model and prices for the Bachelor's online study programme in Robotics
Depending on your personal or professional situation, full-time study is not always easy to manage. That is why we have also developed part-time programmes for all our degrees, which offer flexible and longer study periods. This way, you can study alongside your job or during your time off, whether at home or abroad. The content of the different models is identical. Depending on the study model, we will adjust your tuition fees accordingly. With the part-time variants, your weekly study workload is reduced.
Can't finish your degree in the allotted time? No problem! We will develop the right study model for everyone. If you realise that you need more time, you can easily switch to another study model with three months’ notice before the end of the month. These are our different study models:
Full-Time
Duration 36 Months
Perfect for students who want to hit the ground running and shorten the period of study by increasing their studying pace.
Part-Time I
Duration 48 Months
Excellent for talented all-rounders who want to give their studies everything they’ve got while holding down a job and keeping down their monthly costs at the same time.
Part-Time II

- Save on tuition fees: You’ll save €30 for every recognised ECTS point
Even before you apply for an online study programme, we’ll gladly check whether we can take your previous achievements into account: 100% online, no strings attached. Simply fill in our online recognition form.
Send an email to study@iu.org to find out which previous achievements you can get recognised. Make sure you send your application before the end of your 1-month trial. You can get your previous achievements recognised during your studies. However, we can no longer grant you a cost reduction after the end of the trial month.
