4.4 /5

13 StudyCheck reviewers rate the programme 4.4/5. A strongly rated, well-structured interdisciplinary master combining mechanical, electrical and computer-science content with hands-on robotics projects. Reviewers value the flexible language and study-mode options and the digital infrastructure; popular courses are hard to secure and exams are demanding.

Liked

  • Well-structured interdisciplinary curriculum with many electives
  • Strong hands-on robotics projects with real-world briefs
  • Flexible choice of English or German and of study mode

Criticised

  • Popular courses are hard to get a place in
