The M.Sc. in Robotics provides advanced-level education in both the theory and practice of robotic systems, as studied in academic research and applied in modern industry. The program’s objectives are:
- To offer a comprehensive and interdisciplinary foundation in robotics, equipping graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills for professional employment in the field within today’s industrial environment.
- To deepen students’ understanding of current technologies and theoretical developments, enabling them to apply their knowledge to real-world problems.
- To deliver high-level specialized knowledge in core areas of robotics—robotic sensing, motion, autonomy, intelligence, and control—preparing graduates to pursue careers in academia, research, or industry.
The program has been offered via distance learning since 2023.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the program is to provide students with the scientific foundations, knowledge, and methodologies needed to design and operate robotic automation systems in industry, as well as to conduct research in the field. The goal is to prepare students to meet the demands of today’s industrial and research environments.
Duration of Studies
The MSc program is available in both full-time and part-time study modes.
Full-time studies last for three academic semesters and correspond to 90 ECTS credits. Coursework is completed during the first two semesters, while the third semester is dedicated to the Master’s thesis. For part-time students, the duration is extended by two (2) additional semesters.
The standard duration of study is three semesters. In cases where students have pending coursework or delays in completing their thesis, an extension of up to twelve (12) months may be granted by the Program Committee (P.C.) upon recommendation of the thesis advisor. Additionally, the General Assembly of the Department (G.A.D.) may approve a suspension of studies for up to twelve (12) months.
