Master’s Degree in Automation and Robotics Engineering

The Master's Degree in Automation and Robotics Engineering is a two-year course of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the University of Naples Federico II. In the second year students choose between two pathways: Automation & Control Engineering and Robotics. Automation and robotics are fast-growing fields, because businesses are looking for systems able to control processes, machines and robots in an increasingly autonomous way. The course addresses these topics in a two-year engineering programme, with two distinct streams in the second year.

The course takes place in person in Naples. Teaching is in Italian and English: 18 optional credits of the second year are delivered in English. The total credits, price and start date are not stated. The choice between Automation & Control Engineering and Robotics makes it possible to orient oneself towards system control or towards the design and management of robots. The presence of 18 optional credits in English makes the programme partly international, while the rest of the teaching is presumably in Italian.

Admission requires a bachelor's degree in technical disciplines, such as Engineering, Mathematics or Physics. The page does not report specific career opportunities. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in technical disciplines, such as Engineering, Mathematics or Physics. Total credits, price and start date are not stated and must be checked in the call for applications. Since the course is in person in Naples, it is also advisable to assess how attendance is organised. Before applying it is advisable to compare this information with that published on the university's official website, which may be more up to date than the page. It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next. It should also be clarified whether the cost indicated includes all activities, or whether additional fees, enrolment taxes or costs for materials and for the final exam, if any, are charged. Those coming from another university or with a foreign degree should check in advance the recognition of their qualification, to avoid surprises at enrolment.
