Bachelor of Mechatronic and Robotics Engineering

A Bachelor of Mechatronic and Robotics Engineering program provides students with a comprehensive and interdisciplinary education at the intersection of mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer science. Throughout this program, students acquire a diverse skill set that includes mechanical design, electronics systems, control theory, and programming, all crucial for developing intelligent and automated systems. The curriculum typically incorporates hands-on projects, laboratory work, and real-world applications, enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.

Study methods:

• The DMRE is following a semester-based system, implementing the Bologna Process. The method of study depends on lectures, reports, study groups, presentation and laboratory, practical sessions. Students will be taught in different ways, from the classroom to individual or small-group reflection. Our different teaching formats equip you to be an effective independent learner. The assessment is achieved via class workloads, midterm exams, final exams, essays, and reports. Students on the course will be spending time on independent study which includes preparation for lectures and seminars, follow-up work, wider reading, practice completion of assessment tasks, or revision.

• In the first year of your English Language and Culture Bachelor's program, tuition will be in the form of lectures and tutorials:

• Lectures are a way of getting an overview of a large amount of information in a short amount of time; you and your fellow students will be listening to an expert in the field.

• Tutorials give you a chance to actively engage with historical issues yourself. You may have to give a presentation or discuss a topic amongst yourself or work on an assignment. There are plenty of opportunities for interaction and for asking questions.

Duration:

The duration of the study at the DMRE is 4 Academic years of full-time studies. Normally, an academic year starts in the first week of September to the end of June next year.
