Can I study robotics without enrolling in a robotics-named department?
Yes. Even without a department called robotics, you may study robotics through mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, information or computer engineering, control engineering, or related fields. Some universities offer robotics-related courses, research, laboratory work, or projects through interdisciplinary subjects, electives, or laboratories. Because the content and enrollment conditions vary by university, faculty, and academic year, check the official curriculum and laboratory information.
