Robotics, a field that was only theoretical a few decades ago, has become indispensable to a number of industries all around the world. Students should have knowledge of mathematics and sciences to provide a foundation for the coursework in technology and engineering necessary for a career in robotics.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
