Master's Programme, Systems, Control and Robotics

About this programme

The master's programme in Systems, Control and Robotics focuses on the analysis, design and control of robots, autonomous vehicles, and other complex technical systems. It provides broad skills in the field and expertise through specialisations going deeper into areas such as autonomous sensing, AI, machine learning, decision making and control. Graduates face interesting careers, often in the robotics and autonomous vehicles industry, or as PhD students. 16 October (2026): Application opens 15 January: Last day to apply 1 February: Submit documents and, if required, pay application fee 1 April: Admission results announced The master's programme in Systems, Control and Robotics equips you with the skills necessary to analyse, design and control complex technical systems such as robots and other systems with significant autonomous capabilities. These systems are essential today and will become even more important as new technology enters our workplaces, homes and shared public spaces. The programme offers two tracks that allow you to specialise in either autonomous systems and robotics or learning, decision and control systems. The social robotics course DD2413 explores different aspects of human-robot interaction. This track focuses on autonomous mobile systems operating in dynamic environments, including robots, drones and autonomous vehicles. You study how such systems perceive their surroundings, make decisions and act autonomously based on information from sensors such as cameras and laser scanners. As an example, in the project course, you might be tasked with prog
