During your Master’s in Robotics, you will collect a total of 120 EC within two years. The specialisation in Algorithms and Software AI consists of six compulsory courses. In addition, you attend two courses within the profile of your choice and at least four free electives. In the second year, you can attend further electives, do an internship or an academic skills project. You will complete your Master's by writing your master’s thesis.
STRUCTURE
Year 1 | Number of EC | |
Specialisation courses | 30 EC | |
Profile courses | 10 E | Some of the courses from which you can choose are: Research
Design
Innovation and Entrepreneurship |
Elective courses | 20 EC | Some of the elective courses from which you can choose are:
There are plenty more courses you can choose from. Ask your study adviser or skype with a student for more information. |
Year 2 | ||
Internship, elective courses, or Academic-Skills project | 20 EC | You have a lot of freedom to compose the first part of your second year. You can do an internship or take courses from other specialisations and related Master’s programmes. If you have a degree from a university of applied science (Dutch HBO), you need to do an Academic-Skills project instead of an internship.

Master’s thesis | 40 EC | In the final part of your programme, you will join one of the robotics research groups and work on your master’s thesis project. |
Total EC | 120 EC |
Internship
In the second year of your Master’s in Robotics, you will gain practical experience through a three-month internship. Your extensive expertise in Algorithms & Software AI opens up numerous opportunities, allowing you to choose both the topic and place of your internship. However, if you are a student from a university of applied science (Dutch HBO), you will do an Academic-Skills project and take courses instead of pursuing an internship.
Master's thesis
You will complete your Master’s by joining one of the robotics research groups and doing research for your master’s thesis project. There are many research and design areas on which you can focus. Your choice of a research group and thesis topic depends on your interests. Possible assignments are applying LiDAR and pattern recognition for better gas pipeline detection to improve a robot's autonomy using simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) or building software that enables a robot to complete a task in real time.
