About the programme

The Master’s programme in Robotics and Control is interdisciplinary with courses that cover important aspects of modern robotics, such as autonomous systems, field robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, mobile robots, embedded systems, modelling and control systems. Lectures, lab work, projects and assignments are closely connected to ongoing research at Umeå University.

 

Specialize in computing science or electronics

Interdisciplinary education

Labs with state-of-the art software and hardware

While studying

The programme offers a comprehensive education through lectures, group exercises, seminars, laboratory work, assignments, and projects. A significant portion of the coursework involves hands-on laboratory experiences with state-of-the-art software and hardware.

Your studies will focus on robotics, artificial intelligence, and control systems. Depending on your interests, you can specialize in either computing science or electronics. The computing science track emphasizes artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and programming, while the electronics track focuses on mathematical control systems, electronics, and hardware-related courses.

You are encouraged to personalize your curriculum by selecting additional courses from a suggested list or alternative options aligned with your interests, which can be included in your diploma. All instruction is conducted in English, and you also have the option to take courses in Swedish.

Parallell courses

Typically you study two courses in parallel during a period that is a half of a semester. Each study period ends with an exam period. Every course has three written examination opportunities each year. The programme also includes a one-semester project work of 30 ECTS. It is defended orally and documented in the form of a written Master's Thesis.

Future and career opportunities

With a Master's degree in Robotics and Control you can conduct research and develop new and advanced technologies. This can for example be unmanned vehicles, high level automation of construction machinery, mining equipment, process control in factories, computer vision related products, simulation softwares, advanced sensor systems, and wearable systems.

There is an increasing need for engineers who can design, build, and maintain complex, automated, and intelligent systems of today and of the future.

Further studies?

A Master's degree in Robotics and Control also makes you eligible for PhD studies and opens up possibilities for an academic career in robotics and control systems.
