| Other requirements | A motivation letter must be added to your application. Please upload the final version of the motivation letter before submitting the application. It can not be edited after the application is submitted. The master’s programme in Robotics and Computer Engineering has three specialisations: computer engineering, robotics and space technology. 1. Which of the three specialisations interests you most and why? What was the Earth and what was its purpose in Douglas Adams’ trilogy in five parts “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”? (optional, not for assessment). Additionally, please provide the following information (can be uploaded as a separate document): Evaluation criteria: Applications are evaluated based on: the score of the motivation letter (yields 60% of the final score) University of Tartu: TalTech: Estonian University of Life Sciences: Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences: Estonian Aviation Academy: Graduates of these programmes can apply with their average grade of the previous study level. They can, however, also take the entry test – in that case the best result will be taken into consideration. All other applicants who have collected at least 51 points for their motivation letter, are expected to take the online entry test. The entrance exam assesses the applicant’s knowledge in certain subjects (physics, mathematics, programming). It is conducted on the testid.ut.ee platform between 12 and 17 April 2024 and can only be taken once. If the test is stopped for any reason, it cannot be resumed. The applicant is responsible for maintaining a stable internet connection. While there is no time limit for each question, there are 30 questions in random order with varying difficulty. The overall test must be completed within 137 minutes. If you can’t answer a question, you must move on to the next one without the option to revisit previous questions. No feedback is provided for individual sections of the test. The maximum score is 100 points, and a positive result requires scoring 51 points or more. The application will be considered for admission if a total score of 66 points or higher is achieved. |
