What is the purpose of this study programme?

A printer, smart phone, air temperature thermostat, refrigerator with digital management mechanism, smart washing machine, robot grass trimmer, or vacuum cleaners - all of these are mechatronics and robotics engineers' products that we encounter with on a daily basis. These gadgets and devices facilitate household chores and are used as integral parts of the most advanced technical systems, medical equipment, warfare manufacture, production.
It is mechatronics and robotics specialists, who have made the greatest input to the fourth manufacturing revolution, the result of which is the decreasing demand for human workforce. Humans are being replaced by machines and robots, which make independent decisions and are able to organize work, while the human performs only a supervising function.
Mechatronics and robotics is the science that unifies all major engineering directions: mechanics, electronics, electrotechnics, automatics, informatics.
The aim of this study programme is to prepare versatile specialists, who are able to do technological, organizational, construction and mechatronic as well as robotic systems exploitation, digital production supervision engineering and expertise-advisory work. In the course of studies students acquire knowledge of IT and programming.
A vacuum cleaner may be just a mechanical machine, but it also may be an electronically run robot. It vacuum cleans a room independently of the human and avoids obstacles with the help of electric impulses, thus, choosing the necessary trajectories. The artificial intellect that operates the robot is developed by mechatronics and robotics specialists. These mechatronic mechanical systems much facilitate human lives.

What will students learn?

Some key abilities and knowledge that Mechatronics and Robotics study programme helps students develop and acquire include:

Knowledge of mechanics, applied electronics and mechanisms as well as robot operation systems theories;
Knowledge of mechatronic and robotic systems design methods;
The ability to identify and analyze technical (manufacturing) issues and solve them;
The ability to formulate and solve mechatronics and robotics tasks;
The ability to design and research mechatronics and robotics systems;
The ability to create mechatronics and robotics equipment manufacturing technologies;
The ability to implement digital manufacturing;
The ability to operate complex technical equipment.

Where can students make practice?

Professional practices are carried out in companies with the most recent production facilities and technologies. Students acquire practical skills working with the equipment, technology, learn about the company management.

Where is it possible to study abroad?

With Erasmus academic exchange programme studies are available from one semester to the year abroad. Partnership geography is very wide.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE

You will have plenty of opportunities to apply and diversity your skills through graduate projects, internships, career programmes, clubs and societies.

What about career opportunities after Bachelor's degree studies?

Once you have graduated, you will be employable as a specialist able to:

Work at Lithuanian Engineering Production Association enterprises that produce and distribute mechatronics and robotics devices;
Work in the field of automatization, automated surface processing and installation robots, robotic lines implementation and maintenance, diagnostics and space products formation areas;
Work at pharmaceutic, food, light industry and other enterprises;
Pursue the second-cycle (master's degree) education under the joint study programme Mechatronics or Mechatronics Systems. The programme is implemented in association with German Braunschweig University of Technology, and in collaboration with the following enterprises: "Arginta", "Traidenis", "Precizika Metrology", "Loro", "Vilniaus baldai", "Intersurgical", etc.

Student testimonials

Pritesh Kwatra

Bachelor of Mechatronics and Robotics from India

Lithuania is a stunning and a surprisingly vibrant place to live and study in. I really felt part of a large student community all committed to learning.The Undergraduate community in the Mechatronics and robotics Department is genuinely very friendly and keen to impart knowledge to you. Being able to meet with everyone on your course and other undergraduates and lecturers in coffee breaks on site is an excellent way to relax whilst taking advantage of the expertise all around you.
The academic experience and the overall student experience have benefited my personal development hugely. I have access to fantastic facilities, all within walking distance on campus. VGTU has provided me with high quality lectures and amazing facilities and I have a great social life here. The university’s great at integrating every student into university life.
The most important thing for me about the university experience is the chance to grow as a person, as well as academically. VGTU has exceeded my expectations. I was so quiet when I first started here and now I have gained confidence and am less quiet.
The library is open 24/7 during term time and is so useful. There are several different types of learning areas, silent study, group study. I have used all of these areas for different types of work and they have been really helpful.
I believe that VGTU has made me a more confident and independent individual. It has opened doors that I never thought were available and let me experience things I never thought I would. I have been able to try new things and make new friends as well as discover knowledge in something I am so interested in.
I chose to study at VGTU because I was looking for a university that has both a strong teaching programme and opportunities to develop robotics skills to allow me to have a successful career. VGTU continues to ensure that all students are able to gain practical experience and enjoy being part of a vibrant and diverse university community.
