Abstract

Quality of university education influences the economic competitiveness in knowledge-based societies. Unfortunately the curricula in engineering are often too slow to responding to the actual research and industrial needs, therefore fail in shaping the careers of tomorrow. The European Commission supports EU countries and higher education institutions in modernizing education programmes to provide graduates with university degrees and employable skills. This paper presents the experience gained during realization of specially designed international European Master on Advanced Robotics – EMARO+ (Erasmus+ program, former Erasmus Mundus program) supported by the European Commission. EMARO+ accepts only the best applicants from all over the World. The paper presents the program structure and the candidate selection criteria. The program is compared with other higher degree studies in robotics, available to international students. Examples of thesis are discussed. The current research trends in robotics are summarized to illustrate the needs of modern curricula in robotics. Short discussion of the key-factors influencing the quality of internationalization in the teaching process are considered.
