This is a semi-curated collection of Master and PhD programs in Robotics and Machine Learning. I am only including programs that are taught in English, as this is aimed for international applicants. I focus on programs outside of North America, as there is plenty of information about them and they are saturated in terms of applicants. Countries in this list generally provide better visa policies than what you usually get in North America.

Disclaimer This is only a collection of information, there is no guarantee that it is correct, as requirements or fees might have changed over time. Please always check the links in each program for the latest official information.

There are exchange opportunities with the University of Bologna, and the course can be completed entirely in English. Costs are low at only matriculation fees (300 €) per semester.

• TU Dortmund - Master in Automation and Robotics and Master in Data Science Multi-faculty programs in Robotics and Data Science with a focus in Statistical Learning at a Technical University. Varied selection of courses, and costs are low at only matriculation fees (300 €) per semester.

• University of Siegen - Master in Mechatronics Masters program in the combination of Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering, which serves as a good base for Robotics. Costs are low at only matriculation fees (300 €) per semester.

• University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten - Master in Mechatronics Masters program in the intersection of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering, at a University of Applied Sciences, which is closer to practice than a regular University. Costs are 1500 € per semester and 150 € as matriculation fee.

• Hamburg University - Master in Intelligent Adaptive Systems Master program in Intelligent Systems from a Computer Science perspective, with a large selection of elective courses. There is no tuition fee, only a semester contribution.

• Saarland University - Masters in Visual Computing and Masters in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and Masters in Computer Science This Uni has a large computer science campus and many masters programs in fields related to AI/ML/CV and some inter-departmental collaborations such as language technology. It is a great place to do research, as there are two Max Planck Institutes (Informatics and Software Systems), one facility of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), and the Intel Visual Computing Institute, which are good candidates to do your Master Thesis and expand your network. There are no tuition fees, only a semestrer contribution of around 300 €.

• TU Berlin - Masters in Computer Science A Master’s program in Computer Science with specializations in Cognitive Systems, Data and Software Engineering, and Human-Computer Interaction, with a large selection of courses each semester. You can also take courses at the other Berlin Universities. There are no tuition fees, only a semestrer contribution of around 310 €.

Switzerland
