Master’s degree in Manufacturing and RoboticsTechnische Universität Wien

The Master's Programme Manufacturing and Robotics offers an in-depth, scientifically and methodologically high-quality education. It aims to provide lasting knowledge that qualifies graduates for further studies, particularly doctoral programs, and for employment in various fields, making them internationally competitive.

Graduates will be equipped to independently develop robot-based subsystems in automation and industrial engineering, conduct research- and method-led system integration, and develop innovative robot applications in production and related areas. The program focuses on developing technical, methodological, cognitive, practical, social, and personal competencies.

The curriculum is structured into modules, which are teaching and learning units with defined entry and exit qualifications, content, learning forms, workload, and assessment. Thematically related modules are combined into examination subjects.

• Technical Fundamentals (45.0 ECTS): This includes modules such as Additive Manufacturing, Assistance Systems, Fundamentals of Robotics, Manufacturing Systems, Materials Engineering, Mechatronic Systems, Programming and Simulation, Humans and Robots in Manufacturing, Robot Vision, and Robot Challenge. Courses can also be completed through certified exchange programs in EIT Manufacturing, up to a total of 36 ECTS.
• Specialization (15.0 ECTS): This involves completing courses within the module Specialization. Alternatively, up to 9 ECTS can be earned through bilateral, certified exchange programs in EIT Manufacturing.

The program also allows for study abroad through European exchange programs like ERASMUS and SOCRATES, as well as specific bilateral agreements with universities in other countries. It is also possible to study the Master's program as part of the EITM Joint Master programs with partner universities in Europe, leading to diplomas from both entry and exit universities and the EITM label.

Admission to the Master's Programme Manufacturing and Robotics requires the completion of a relevant Bachelor's Programme or another relevant degree of at least the same higher education level from a recognized institution. Specific eligible Bachelor's programs include Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science at TU Wien, among others. Alternative or additional courses and examinations, amounting to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits, may be prescribed to compensate for significant subject-related differences.
