Mechanical graduate with 73.54% aiming for Robotics Masters: Is Switzerland the right choice?

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son has completed his Bachelor’s of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunications and now intends pursuing MS in Robotics Hardware. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that owing to its well-known programs in engineering and technology, Germany is a great place to pursue a Master's degree in Robotics Hardware. A number of leading universities renowned for their prowess in automation and robotics viz., the University of Freiburg, Technical University of Munich, and University of Stuttgart, are located in Germany. Outstanding robotics hardware programs, blending theoretical understanding with real-world application are provided by these colleges. Moreover, Germany is an excellent place for students who wish to succeed in the robotics hardware domain owing to its close linkages with the industry as well as concentration on research. In order to find the match that best resonates with your son’s educational and professional objectives, I would recommend that he conducts a comprehensive study on the experience of the faculty members, looks into the specific details of the program he intends pursuing, as well as the entry prerequisites set by these institutions.

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son aspires to pursue his Masters in Robotics/Automation/Industrial Engineering in the UK or Germany. To answer your question first, I would like to let you know that several variables, including possibilities for employment following graduation and permanent residency (PR) need to be taken into account when deciding between Germany and the UK for pursuing a Masters in Robotics, Automation, or Industrial Engineering.

I would like to tell you that Germany and the UK both are renowned for having robust engineering and technology industries with outstanding educational programs and research possibilities offered in these fields. Nevertheless, with regard to gaining permanent residency, Germany has simpler procedures than the UK.

Germany’s immigration laws, especially the Blue Card scheme, aims to attract competent laborers, including graduates from universities in Germany. On competing their Masters degrees in Germany, students have the chance to prolong their residence permits for the purpose of seeking employment and finally switch to a Blue Card, which can result in permanent residency.

The UK on the contrary, has modified its immigration laws recently, implementing a points-based system that gives preference to highly qualified personnel. Although overseas students are permitted to remain in the UK for a brief period of time following graduation in order to seek work, the routes to obtaining permanent residency are more difficult and competitive in comparison to Germany.

I would like to let you know that both the nations have booming engineering sectors that provide a wealth of work opportunities, nevertheless, the manufacturing industry in Germany is particularly strong with several jobs in automation, robotics, and industrial engineering. An abundance of opportunities for graduates in these sectors are offered by Germany’s robust industrial sector, including well-known corporations viz., Volkswagen, Siemens, and Bosch.

The UK also boasts a thriving engineering industry, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and technology. Nevertheless, employment prospects for overseas graduates in the UK may be impacted by Brexit concerns and its possible effects on immigration and employment laws.

Lastly, while outstanding possibilities to pursue a Master’s degree in Robotics, Automation, or Industrial Engineering are offered by both Germany and the UK, a more simpler route to obtain permanent residency and ample employment prospects in these sectors may be offered by Germany. Nevertheless, in order to make an educated choice depending on your son’s aspirations and situation, I would recommend that you conduct an extensive study on certain courses, universities, and well as labor markets in both the nations.

Ans: Hi...Pursuing a bachelor's degree in robotics abroad can be an excellent decision for your daughter, especially if she is passionate about the field and eager to access advanced educational opportunities. The UK is a strong choice for studying robotics, with reputable universities like Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Bristol offering high-quality programs. However, the cost of tuition and living expenses in the UK can indeed be quite high. Alternatively, countries like Germany, known for its engineering excellence, offer affordable education with many programs taught in English, and institutions like the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and RWTH Aachen are highly regarded for robotics. Canada is another great option, offering quality education at institutions like the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, with relatively moderate costs and a welcoming environment for international students. It would be best to consider both the quality of education and the overall cost when making this decision.
