Fusion of technologies transforming industry
Mechatronics combines mechanics, electronics, information technology and programming to meet the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. You’ll learn how to design and operate robotic and automated systems that replace traditional human labour. You’ll gain mechanical, control and programming skills applicable to high-tech sectors such as aerospace, biomedical and manufacturing automation. Your interdisciplinary skills will be the key to a wide range of career opportunities at home and abroad.
The programme provides a solid basis for contributing to industrial innovation, automation and the development of advanced technologies. You will be able to solve complex engineering problems, contribute to business process optimisation and develop technological solutions.
Contemporary and virtual laboratories equipped with Festo production lines, 3D printers, ABB robots and CNC machine tools offer the opportunity to develop your skills in various technological fields. They allow you to acquire the practical skills needed to work with advanced manufacturing technologies.
During your studies, you will complete tasks that enable you to develop innovative engineering systems, and design and operate mechatronic and robotic systems. You will focus on developing creativity and the ability to solve real-world problems, developing both technical and creative skills highly valued in the job market.
The programme is structured around individual interests and career goals, allowing you to choose modules that cover both theoretical and practical skills. This allows you to deepen your knowledge in your chosen sectors, develop the necessary competencies and prepare for a professional career in line with the needs of today’s industry.
This is your gateway to the world of technology that combines mechanics, electronics, and computer control. Learn how to design and operate modern machines, robots, intelligent systems, and even automated factories. Your skills will be in demand wherever there is a need to automate everyday processes, develop faster and smarter solutions, and simplify work.
With such broad opportunities, choosing the career path you want becomes easy:
Develops and maintains automation solutions: robotic arms, conveying systems, CNC machines. Ensures the efficient operation of equipment and implements new technologies.
Designs and develops robots for a wide range of applications – manufacturing, medicine, logistics. Programs robots, integrates sensor systems and optimises their trajectories.
Digitally models and tests robots and their systems. Analyses performance, predicts potential failures, and optimises processes before they are implemented.

Mechatronics studies offer a unique opportunity to combine practical skills, theoretical knowledge and general competences. During my studies, I had the opportunity to go on an exchange programme to Chung-Ang University in South Korea, where I was able to get a different perspective on these studies. This programme is for curious and adventurous people who want to explore new technologies.
Mechatronics studies provide a broad and solid engineering foundation, enabling you to understand the connections between mechanics, electronics, and programming, and to apply this knowledge to real-world projects. The versatility of the programme, along with the opportunity to join the GIFTed Talent Academy, has allowed us to explore relevant fields in greater depth and prepare for a dynamic job market.
It is much more than just robotics, which is just one of many areas in the interdisciplinary field of mechatronics. During your studies, you will acquire integrated engineering skills that include mechanics, electronics, automation, information technology and control systems.
This knowledge and these skills are widely applicable in virtually all industries and everyday activities, enabling you to work with various advanced technologies and intelligent systems.
To meet the English language requirements, applicants must provide one of the following certificates IELTS (minimum 5.5), TOEFL (minimum 75), CEFR (B2 or above), IESOL (B2), GRE, PTE or other equivalent standardised entrance test.
However, if your previous studies were entirely in English and this is officially recorded on your degree certificate, transcript or a letter of confirmation from your school, you may be exempt from taking an additional English test.
For applicants without an official language certificate, KTU may offer the option of taking an online English test.
If you choose to study Mechatronics at KTU, you’ll receive a well-rounded education that combines robotics, automation and control systems. The curriculum is designed with hands-on learning in mind, giving you access to modern laboratories and strong links with industry. With internationally recognised courses and plenty of room for creativity, you’ll graduate ready to explore a range of career options around the world.
