Master Automatique, Robotique

Tuition fees are 292 USD per year.

Automation and robotics (Automatique, Robotique) is an engineering field focused on designing systems that control machines and processes with minimal human intervention, and this master's program is offered by Université Clermont Auvergne in Aubiere, France. Students in automation and robotics programs typically study control theory, sensor and actuator systems, embedded systems programming, robot design and kinematics, and signal processing, building skills to design, model and control automated systems used across manufacturing and other industries. Coursework generally combines mathematical modeling with hands-on laboratory work involving robotic platforms, control systems and programming, since the field requires both theoretical grounding and practical engineering skills. Career paths for graduates include roles as automation engineers, robotics engineers, control systems specialists, and research and development positions within manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and industrial automation companies, as well as further doctoral research in engineering. This is a master's degree lasting two years, taught in French, so candidates need to be comfortable following technical engineering coursework in French, including mathematics-heavy lectures and laboratory instructions. The program starts in September, and yearly tuition is 250 euros. Students considering this path should typically hold a background in engineering, physics or applied mathematics, since automation and robotics builds directly on those foundations before moving into the design and control of automated and robotic systems.
