Robotics NEW

Robots and robotic systems are operating in more ways and places than we often realise. In domains such as manufacturing, inspection and maintenance, construction, navigation, agri-food production, and healthcare, they are carrying out more and more tasks relieving people from difficult, tedious, dangerous, or heavy work. With our Master’s in Robotics, you can get equipped to play a leading role in this exciting, expanding field.

HIGH TECH, HUMAN TOUCH

The rise of robotics comes with a lot of technical challenges, such as making sure they operate reliably in complex situations. Or enabling them to interact effectively with humans and our surroundings. Or create the Artificial Intelligence (AI) they need. These are typical subjects you tackle in our two-year programme. Working in small teams on real-world challenges, you cover all disciplines involved in developing relevant, valuable robots, from mechatronics to computer science and AI. At the same time, you learn to deal with ethical, legal, societal, and economic aspects. Your grasp of both the high tech and the human touch behind robotics is exactly what industries and research institutes today are looking for.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates of this Master’s are in high demand on the job market. In high-tech industries, shortages of well-trained technical staff are a strong driver behind this trend. The range of robotic systems you might engage with in your career is expanding all the time: from automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in logistics, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for maintenance & inspection, to field robotics in agriculture, building robots in construction, diagnostic as well as curative robots in medicine, exoskeletons used in rehabilitation centres and even humanoid robots in customer-service settings. You can launch a start-up or go to work at a variety of high-tech or robotics companies. What about starting out as a system engineer, project leader, software engineer or designer, mechanical or mechatronics engineer, control engineer, or a robotics engineer at a firm like ASML, Demcon, Siemens, Philips, VDL, or Thales? You can also pursue a career in the academic field, helping to advance research in highly specialised areas of robotics. With this Master’s, you will have a lot of options.
