You have a lot of freedom to customise your Master’s in Robotics.
Within the Master’s in Robotics, you build expertise in a specific field by choosing one of the three specialisations. In addition, you have the flexibility to customise your programme based on the specific roles and work settings that you aspire to. Are you pursuing a career in academia, a robotics-related job at a company, or starting your own business? Moreover, you can master making robots for a specific application—industry, healthcare, or society—by taking elective courses.
How to compose your Master’s
Your curriculum depends on the choices you make when you compose your Master’s. There are three steps you need to take.
Master’s structure
Your Master’s in Robotics is worth 120 EC. In addition to the six compulsory specialisation courses, you will take two courses from the profile you have chosen and four elective courses. In the second year, you can do an internship or take more elective courses. You will complete your Master’s by writing a master’s thesis project, which entails extensive research within one of the robotics research groups.
Below is the structure of this Master’s programme.
