Get started on an exciting study or research pathway in the future-proof fields of robotics and automation. Programme overview Robotics and automation have seen widespread applications in many industries, including healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing. The Postgraduate Certificate in Robotics and Automation provides the right foundations for students to begin exploring their potential in these fields. Many of our teaching staff are well-recognised experts who are a part of the University’s Centre for Automation and Robotic Engineering Science, who boast collaborations with industry and researchers at a global scale. This ensures that our courses are kept up-to-date with recent real-world applications, as well as containing direct insights into the emerging technologies available here in New Zealand.
The PGCertRobotEng also boasts flexibility for those who want a taste of postgraduate study but are not ready to commit to a longer programme, and can be treated as a pathway towards further, masters-level study via the Master of Robotics and Automation Engineering for students who choose to pursue it. Programme structure The PGCertRobotEng is a 60-point taught programme with courses designed to give you the broad foundations in the field. You’ll have to complete the following courses. At least one of the following: COMPSYS 726 Robotics and Intelligent Systems (Semester One) COMPSYS 730 Robotics and Society (Semester Two) At least one of the following: ENGGEN 731 Agile and Lean Project Management (Semester One) ENGGEN 732 Systems Thinking and Project Business Case (Semester One) MECHENG 709 Industrial Automation (Semester One)
Where could this programme take you? The PGCertRobotEng supplements your undergraduate degree with a broad introduction to fields that are in increasingly high demand. It is largely also treated as a pathway for future, higher-level study in Robotics and Automation Engineering. Further study options Master of Robotics and Automation Engineering
