What you will study
What you study
Mechatronics brings mechanics, electronics and software together. The register description points to the everyday side of that mix: robots, refrigerators, smaller and faster information technology products, energy saving products. As a master's student you learn to develop advanced control systems that meet future demands, and you build the knowledge and understanding to create technological solutions to everyday challenges.
The teaching runs in a project based and problem based study environment. You work in project groups, and you and your fellow students plan and carry out the project and meet the deadlines yourselves. Project outlines usually come from companies, and the emphasis is on solving real-world problems. The last semester is devoted to the master thesis, which is typically carried out at or in cooperation with an industrial company.
