MSc in Mechatronics Engineering
Create innovative technological solutions to everyday challenges
The combination of mechanics, electronics and software is used in everything from robots to refrigerators. With a master degree in Mechatronics you could, for example, make smaller and faster information technology products or create energy saving products. Your thorough knowledge and understanding of Mechatronics enables you to create innovative technological solutions to everyday challenges.
As a master student you learn to develop advanced control systems that will meet future demands.
Project based and research based study environment
You become part of a project based and problem based study environment where you work in project groups. You and your fellow students are responsible for planning and carrying out the project – and for meeting the deadlines. Usually we receive the project outlines from companies and we emphasise that the problems you solve are ‘real-world’ problems. The last semester is devoted to the master thesis, which will typically be carried out at or in cooperation with an industrial company.
