The programme has a focus on robotics systems and embedded systems. Especially on how to make such systems more intelligent and adaptable using programming, machine learning and other methods based in informatics. This programme will as such cover the competence needed in todays industry.
There's a great demand for candidates with a background in the combination of programming, hardware design and embedded systems, while one simultaneously see new jobs and innovation within robotics, autonomous and intelligent systems. This study aims to create technologists that master practical implementation, while also being strong on theory.

The master programme has an interdiciplinary character and builds on elements from informatics, electronics, mathematics and physics. It has two areas of specialisation and gives to chance to focus within chosen areas within artificial intelligence, digital and embedded systems, robotics, cybernetics and autonomous systems.

About this course

knowledge of programming and algorithms, as well as systems development techniques
knowledge of digital technology that forms the basis for designing computers and embedded systems
knowledge about electronics and sensors that form the basis for machine launching
knowledge of mathematics required for electronics, programming and robotics
knowledge of principles in computer architecture and digital systems
knowledge about the management and analysis of robotics systems
knowledge of how machines can interpret surroundings, act intelligently and adapt
model and abstract, and use analytical and computational methods and software to predict behavior and performance
test and troubleshoot software and hardware systems at different levels

With a master's degree in Informatics: robotics and intelligent systems you have opportunities to work with:

software and hardware development, both for embedded systems (some examples)
artificial intelligence and machine learning for robots and autonomous systems, and in other software systems
medical technology
You may want to work:

in consulting firms
in startup companies
in technology companies that develop major hardware and software products
at a university, research institutions and hospitals
Through the work of writing a master's thesis in informatics, you learn to work independently and to organize and plan your own work within specific deadlines. You learn to apply theoretical and practical knowledge that you have acquired through your study program in your own original work, a master's thesis.

During the master's studies you will also learn to write and work with scientific material - you learn to collaborate with others on research questions and communicate on academic issues, analyzes and conclusions in the field of informatics. You will be able to convey your own work and to acquire and relate to the feedback you receive.

Courses and Master's thesis

Selection of courses and topic for the Master's thesis is done in consultion with your supervisor during the first semester. Depending on programme option, you can have a supervisor at the Department of Informatics or at the Department of Technology Systems.

All courses should normally be completed and passed before the last semester. Please see each programme option for information about mandatory and recommended courses.

The Master's thesis is an independent research work carried out under supervision. You can choose either a long thesis of 60 ECTS credits, in addition to 60 ECTS credits with courses, or a short thesis of 30 ECTS credits in addition to 90 ECTS credits with courses. At least 30 credits must be from the program structure. If you choose a long thesis, the work is distributed over several semesters. The submission of the thesis is done on a fixed date in the last semester. If you choose a short thesis, the subject of the thesis is presented on a given date at the beginning of the semester and the deadline for submission is 17 weeks after this date. A short thesis must be written entirely in the last semester. The Master's thesis must be presented public at the end of the semester. Following the presentation, an oral examination with the sensors and supervisor follows the assignment.
