Robotics Aalborg University

Overview

About the programme  

Why choose Robotics?  

You should choose Robotics if you want to work with advanced technologies and create solutions that combine mechanics, electronics and software in intelligent robotic systems. The programme is research-based and cross-disciplinary, giving you a thorough understanding of both the individual components and the overall system that robots are part of. 

You will gain knowledge about autonomous systems, mobile robots, industrial robots, human-robot interaction and system integration, and you will learn how to analyse and solve complex technical problems using modern scientific methods and tools. You will work with everything from artificial intelligence, machine learning, control engineering and sensor technology to computer vision, embedded systems and simulation – and you will learn how to develop and test both hardware and software that works in practice. 

  Educational content  

While pursuing your degree, your schedule will alternate between lectures and project work in groups where you work with your fellow students on solving specific real-life challenges. You will be part of a cross-disciplinary study and research environment where mechanics, electronics, computer vision and AI merge in the development of intelligent robots and systems. You will be taught by lecturers from different research environments at the university, which will train you to work in a flexible and cross-disciplinary manner.

Your skills as a graduate  

The Master's in Robotics gives you a strong foundation in robotics. In addition to a strong professional profile, you will have excellent collaborative skills and excel at solving technical challenges. You will also be able to work with and manage all phases of a project and gain competences in development and analysis tasks.  

Job opportunities 

With a Master’s in Robotics, you can work as a development engineer, service engineer, specialist or project manager in organisations where automation, robotics and intelligent systems play a key role. Your cross-disciplinary profile makes you sought-after in companies working within fields such as advanced manufacturing, automation, logistics, healthcare technology, energy systems, aerospace, offshore, defence and autonomous vehicles.   

You can also become self-employed and start your own company. Some graduates choose to stay at university to pursue a three-year research programme (PhD).
