4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
Metropolia University of Applied SciencesThe Robotics Engineering Bachelor's program at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences gives you a solid foundation in automation, artificial intelligence, and machine mechanics, preparing you for the exciting world of smart systems that are transforming industries. It's perfect for curious problem-solvers who love hands-on tech and want to build the robots and AI solutions powering tomorrow's factories, homes, and cities—think efficient production, autonomous machines, and innovative gadgets.
Curriculum Structure
Year 1 lays the groundwork with essential engineering basics, blending electronics, programming, and automation technology alongside physics and mathematical analysis to help you grasp how intelligent systems come together. You'll dive into practical labs at Myyrmäki Campus, getting comfortable with core tools that set you up for robotics success right from the start. This year builds your confidence through real-world projects, mirroring the "learning by doing" approach that makes Metropolia grads stand out.
Year 2 ramps up with a focus on measurement and control technology and process automation, where you'll experiment in modern labs to design systems that make machines smarter and safer. Hands-on work in Robo and AIoT Garages introduces you to fieldbus systems and data communication, letting you prototype real automation solutions. By year's end, you'll see how these skills connect theory to industry needs, like efficient production processes.
Year 3 dives deeper into advanced applications, emphasizing robotics, digital twins, and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) to create cutting-edge prototypes. You'll tackle programming for cobotics and autonomous systems, collaborating on projects that simulate real industry challenges in the Robo Garage's high-tech workshops. This phase sharpens your innovation skills, preparing you for roles in intelligent tech development.
Year 4 polishes your expertise through capstone projects in artificial intelligence-driven automation and control systems, often partnering with companies for practical impact. Culminating in your Bachelor's thesis, you'll integrate everything—from AI mechanics to sustainable robotics—in the fully equipped Myyrmäki labs. Graduates emerge ready to lead in automation, with a portfolio that impresses employers.
