Why this programme?
- Connecting different fields, such as IT, business and process management, design and product development, mechatronics and the digitalisation of production can only be studied at TalTech in Estonia (and in the entire Baltic region). We have the best opportunities and high-quality laboratories for this: laboratories for 3D printing, mechatronics, wood, metal, electronics, logistics, mobile services and media, virtual and augmented reality, etc.
- As a student, you can join the TalTech Mektory Satellite programme team, the TalTech Robotics Club or the student formula team FS Team Tallinn to put what you have learned into practice and try out new and exciting ideas.
Primary Courses
You will understand the role of VR/AR in services development during this course. Additionally, you will go through the entire simulation process from planning of manufacturing and generating ideas to a prototype, involving monitoring of manufacturing by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. Furthermore, you can use VR/AR for controlling robots from distance and design user interface for smart-glass applications.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will understand the role of design in product development. You will go through the entire creative design process from the discovery of a problem and generating ideas to a prototype.
You will look deep into the inner workings of robots: which components they consist of, how to control, programme and teach them.
CURRICULUM OUTLINE (180 ECTS)
- General studies - cover mathematical analysis, entrepreneurship, chemistry, physics, metrology, measurement engineering, etc.
- Core studies - include courses about robotics, machine automation, programming, material engineering, logistics, etc.
- Special studies – consist of courses about design and engineering and integrated engineering.
- Free choice courses - students can choose from the wide variety of courses offered at the university

Future Career
Most engineers work in international teams. You may find a job as a product developer who creates new products, machines, systems and services. Product and design managers are needed in companies that create their own products or product families or operate in product development. As a production manager or engineer, you must know the construction, uses and technological capabilities of different technical systems, such as robots, production lines, etc. Increasingly more specialists with strong IT skills as software developers or product owners are needed to take products and production further to an online platform.
What Students Say
Samuel Dare Awoseyin

I definitely would recommend TalTech. The courses are quite practical and they have all sorts of scholarships to motivate you. If you are hardworking enough, you will end up being paid to study here and I love it…. I like Mathematics because I have kind of always been a maths guy. I will add that the maths tutors are quite available and direct. I also like the Programming due to the interactive nature of classes and the approachability of tutors…Entrepreneurship would be my new favourite and that´s because I have kind of a knack for business for a few years now and the way a seed could just grow into something so feasible is invigorating.

First of all, TalTech has introduced a new and very innovative study programme in English which combines different but highly essential fields of modern engineering: ICT, plus mechanical and electrical engineering. A successful engineer crucially needs to have at least some knowledge in these fields which, I believe, are also the essence of creativity and innovation. This is what I got to know and eventually practice at TalTech.
What's more, life as an international student is very exciting, colourful, and fruitful in Estonia. I also had an exchange term at the University of Massachusetts, in Dartmouth in the USA, which happened to be TalTech's partner university and therefore I was able to enjoy the opportunity to familiarise myself with the USA's education system and its approach to learning, and I gained myself a wonderful experience last year.
I cannot express how happy I am for making such a decision. My experience here at TalTech helped me to broaden my perspectives in various aspects of educational life, as well as in my personal life. Because of the experiences I have had so far, I have never regretted my decision, but instead, I remained very proud of it.
