Master of Robotics and Automation Engineering MRobotEng

Summary

As the world of work evolves, we see a growing need for expertise in robotics and automation – in Aotearoa and globally. This is based on the field's widespread applicability in many industries, including healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing. The MRobotEng aims to produce graduates with the knowledge to develop, deploy and support these technologies at advanced levels for years to come.

Many of our teaching staff are well-recognised experts in the field, and are a part of the University’s Centre for Automation and Robotic Engineering Science, which collaborates with industry and researchers on a global scale. This ensures that our courses are kept up-to-date with recent real-world applications, as well as offering direct insights into the emerging technologies available here in New Zealand.

Our interdisciplinary collaborations also create opportunities to participate in projects with a variety of industry partners. While this is a primarily taught programme, there is a valuable, distinctive research component that will let you demonstrate your ability to apply theoretical principles to real-life scenarios. You will also be exposed to hands-on work to gain the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to thrive in this sector.
