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 electives to shape your expertise in a specific application area. In your second year, you will do an internship, take more elective courses, or do an Academic-Skills project. You will complete your Master’s by conducting research for your master’s thesis project.

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 | You will finish your Master’s in Robotics by conducting your master's thesis project, including writing your thesis. |
Total EC | 120 EC |
Intership
In the second year of your Master’s in Robotics, you will gain practical experience through a three-month internship. Your extensive expertise in Mechatronics & Physical 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. For example, you can design an MRI-compatible surgical robot. What about teaching a robot with limited control to move and operate effectively? You might also investigate how a robot can smoothly grasp and handle objects of changing shapes and sizes.
