Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently studying in the final year of his Bachelor’s of Technology (B.Tech) in Engineering and aspires to pursue his Master’s in Robotics and Automation. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that there are a number of outstanding overseas universities that are well-regarded for the robotics and automation programs they offer that are also affordable in terms of program costs and living expenses. You would be glad to know that universities viz., ETH Zurich, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pennsylvania, are known worldwide for their programs in robotics. A number of scholarships and funding sources are offered by these institutions to international students studying there. Moreover, EU or EEA students are provided superior education at comparatively lower tuition costs, by universities in Sweden and Germany, viz., KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Technical University of Munich. To find the options that best resonate with your son’s choices as well as monetary constraints, I would recommend that you conduct an extensive study on particular course offerings, the living expenses in these regions, as well as possibilities for financial assistance.
