YOU HAVE A LOT OF FREEDOM IN CUSTOMISING YOUR MASTER’S IN Robotics.
While building your expertise in one of the three specialisations, you can tailor the programme to your interests and ambitions by choosing one of the three profiles as well as a number of elective courses. This way, you get to develop your own expertise and become the professional you wish to be. Our challenge-based learning approach supports this personalisation. As you get involved in real-life, hands-on robotics projects, you will not only add valuable team and soft skills to your personal toolbox, but also get better prepared for your master’s thesis project and further career.
How to design your Master's
What your study programme will look like exactly, depends on the choices you make in composing your Master’s. The process consists of three steps:
Master's structure
During your Master's in Robotics, you will collect a total of 120 EC within two years. In addition to six compulsory courses of the Master’s, you attend two additional courses within the profile of your choice and at least four free electives.
Below, you can find the general structure of the Master’s, it serves as an example of what your curriculum might look like. Which exact courses you will follow at what moment, depends on the choices you make, as well as the starting date of your Master’s.
