Course overview

The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics) is the only robotics course in South Australia that is based on electronics and computer engineering (2 of the key elements of the latest robotics technologies).

This course combines electronics, computer control, signal processing, and programming in the design, development and operation of robots, and their integration with other systems in the work environment.

You will work directly with robots in industry as a robotics or system engineer.

The University has also developed close relationships with a number of private sector and government organisations and all students undertake Flinders' nationally recognised 20 week industry placement.

What is Robotics Engineering?

Robotics is the science and technology of the design, development and application of robots in fields as diverse as manufacturing, mining and medicine.

As robots increasingly take on repetitive and hazardous tasks in an ever expanding number of applications, the science of robotics is at the leading edge of modern economic and social life.

Why study Robotics Engineering at Flinders?

• All our Engineering awards have been designed in close collaboration with industry in order to meet future development needs. Students gain specialist knowledge in key areas and an integrated tool kit of skills that will enable them to meet the technical criteria required by industry and to engage professionally with on-going technical developments. 

• A distinctive feature of our Engineering awards is the nationally recognised industry placement program. More than 100 local, national and international organisations support the program, which provides students with 20 weeks of structured industrial work experience.

• Students complete their final year of study having already gained a first-hand understanding of the role of the graduate engineer. They graduate with a proven on-the-job performance and many go on to work full-time with the company that provided their placement, or with another in the same industry.

• The first year of this award is similar to the first year of our other Engineering awards allowing students to transfer between awards with minimal loss of time. For students without the necessary prerequisites, the Bachelor of Engineering Science award provides a pathway into this award.

• We have an international reputation for our teaching, student support programs/services and research.

Professional recognition

This is a new course. It is expected that it will meet the requirements for accreditation by Engineers Australia and be recognised internationally.

Career opportunities

What can I do with my Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics) degree?

Study a language

Flinders also offers all students the opportunity to major in a language in conjunction with any undergraduate course. The Diploma in Language is designed to provide students with competence in a chosen language that adds greater portability to their qualifications. You will complete a total of one extra year of study and graduate with both your chosen degree and the Diploma in Language. You can apply for this at time of enrolment.
