Master in Automation and Robotics Engineering

Tuition comes to 2,446 USD per year.

Automation and Robotics Engineering focuses on the design, control, and integration of automated systems and robotic devices used in manufacturing, logistics, and other industrial applications. Students typically study control theory, robotics, electronics, mechanical systems, and programming for automated processes, along with coursework on sensors, actuators, and the software systems that coordinate machine behavior. The discipline combines principles from mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to address how machines can perform tasks with precision and minimal human intervention. Graduates commonly pursue careers in manufacturing automation, robotics development, industrial systems integration, and research roles in both academic and industrial settings, as automated systems are widely used across modern production and logistics operations. Because the field requires both theoretical grounding in control and mechanical systems and practical skills in programming and hardware integration, students build a broad technical skill set applicable to a range of engineering environments. This master's program in Automation and Robotics Engineering is offered by Politecnico di Bari in Bari, Italy, and is taught in English, allowing an international group of students to pursue advanced engineering training together. The program runs for two years, matching the standard duration of second-cycle degrees within the Italian higher education system. Students admitted to this kind of program generally hold a bachelor's degree in engineering or a closely related technical field, since the coursework assumes a foundation in mathematics, physics, and basic engineering principles. Bari, located in the Puglia region of southern Italy, hosts a technical university with a focus on engineering disciplines, giving students a setting oriented toward applied technical study. Graduates often continue into industry roles or further research in automation and robotics.
