Course Overview
Entry into Automation & Robotics is by competition and selection during US773 Engineering (Common Enrty).
Automation & Robotics is combination of the two most utilised technologies in todays manufacturing environments. Exploring the control of production equipment and the operation of cutting edge robotics. Engineers with these skills are now in high demand in the manufacturing sector, with many large companies struggling to fill all of their required positions due to a shortage of skilled graduates.
If you are a motivated person with a creative mind, and are interested in engineering and how things work, then Robotics & Automation could be for you. TUS Midlands, with its recently constructed €35 million engineering building, is ideally placed to take you to the next level.
As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering in Automation & Robotics, you are eligible to apply to Engineers Ireland to use the registered professional title of Associate Engineer.
