About the programme
You should choose to study 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 每 and you will learn how to develop and test both hardware and software that works in practice.
New Master＊s options
We expect that as of 2028 you will be able to take this Master's degree programme as a 2-year programme (full-time study, 120 ECTS credits) and as a 3-year Master's for working professionals (first year full-time and then two years of part-time study in combination with relevant employment)
Academic content
The M.Sc. programme in Robotics at Aalborg University is comprised by four semesters where you work with gradually more complex subjects.
See also the curriculum for the master＊s programme in Robotics. Here, you may find details on courses and projects as well as information on the programme＊s legal basis, etc.
Compulsory for all non-AAU bachelors
All bachelors enrolled in the programme who have not obtained their bachelor's degree from Aalborg University must take part in a course on problem based learning (PBL) as part of the 1st semester project. In case non-AAU bachelors get credit transfer for the 1st semester, they will be asked to take part in a course ensuring that they are trained in working according to the PBL-model.?Read more about PBL here.

Semester descriptions
Traineeship
In the 3rd semester of the master＊s programme in Robotics, you have the opportunity to go abroad or spend your semester in a company.
Aalborg University cooperates with a range of universities across the world and has well-established contacts in industry both in regards to student projects and company internships. The International Office at Aalborg University may assist you with guidance, but you must make your own preparations, incl. checking whether you need advanced credit transfer, looking for accommodation, checking up on insurance, visa and possible needed vaccinations, and, if relevant, how to avoid a lapse of your Danish residence permit.
Skills and job opportunities
Job and career
Your Robotics profile qualifies you for jobs such as development- and service engineering, specialist and project manager in private companies and public organisations where knowledge of robots and/or automation is a central part of the job.
