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?
2. How does your previous learning and/or working experience relate to this specialisation?
If none of the three specialisations is familiar to you, please describe some other field of interest you consider relevant for this application.
3. Name three important persons and events related to your field of interest, and explain why you choose these particular persons and events.
4. In what role do you see yourself professionally after completion of the programme?
5. What might be the ”big thing” you’d like to accomplish in your field of interest?

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):
- list your previous study and work experience;
- if applicable, list the conferences, workshops, competitions etc. you have attended (preferably related to your specialisation);
- if applicable, list your extracurricular activities (preferably related to your specialisation);
- name up to 3 academic/professional references (optional).

Evaluation criteria:
- fit between the student’s background and goals, and the study programme (40%)

average grade of the previous study level (yields 40% of the final score)*
online entry test (yields 40% of the final score)*
*Test is mandatory except for applicants who have graduated from following programmes:

University of Tartu:
Computer Engineering (83866), Computer Science (2476), Science and Technology (144918), Physics, Chemistry and Material Science (144301)

TalTech:
Computer Science (175317), IT Systems Administration (175301), IT Systems Development (175303), Cyber Security Engineering (175303), Hardware Development and Programming (175717), Electrical Power Engineering and Mechatronics (167217), Mechatronics (1975), Product Development and Robotics (165597), Integrated Engineering (126337)

Estonian University of Life Sciences:
Engineering (384), Technotronics (81050)

Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences:
Robotics Software Development (207866)

Estonian Aviation Academy:
Aeronautical Engineering (194140)

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.
