Dive into the world of intelligent machines
The Master's program in Mechatronics and Automation Engineering combines mechanics, electronics, and programming.
You´ll get to design, build, and programme intelligent machines, and work on practical industry projects.
You can create software, simulate surgialcal operations, or build underwater drones that can monitor gas pipelines and fish farming facilities.
You will be part of a new generation of engineers capable of turning ideas into reality and contribute to sustainable and innovative solutions in an increasingly automated world.
In the master's programme you will learn how to develop smart, sustainable systems for the the future.
The programme guides you through the process of designing automated mechatronic systems that can collaborate – these are called intelligent cyber-physical systems. You'll delve into artificial intelligence and have the ability to virtually test designs using digital twins.
In our advanced laboratories, you'll develop and build mechatronic systems - from concept to fully functional models.
The Master's program is closely linked to businesses, and you’ll get to work with real cases within the industry, health sector and maritime industry.
You can specialize in one of the following study tracks:
- Robotics and Intelligent Systems
The specialization in robotics and intelligent systems focuses on practical use of automation and artificial intelligence in cyber-physical systems.
You’ll spend a lot of time working in labs and participate in industry projects.
- Maritime Systems
This track is about man-made systems and constructions that operate in the sea, both above and below the surface.
You’ll become a part of Plan Sea, which – in collaboration with industry partners – develops technology for cleaning up plastic waste along the seabed.
With a master’s degree in Mechatronics and Automation you’ll get a broad engineering competence with specialisation in mechatronics and automation. This competence is in high demand at tech companies worldwide.
You’ll get to work with everything from designing the mechanics to developing the software that runs the system. Examples are advanced offshore ships, and robots in goods-producing industries and in hospitals.
This expertise can be applied in the ongoing digital transformation and the green shift in all sectors.
As a student on this master's program, you will be part of a tight-knit and welcoming study environment.
Mechatronics and Anutomation students is part of the student organisation Sigma and Syntax. The student organisations organises social and professional activities throughout the academic year.
Studying in Ålesund will provide you with plenty of opportunities to explore a region of Norway that is famous for its beautiful scenery with high mountains and blue fjords.
This master's degree programme extends over two academic years (4 semesters) and constitutes a course load of 120 ECTS credits.
It is possible to take one semester abroad during your studies.
Admission to this programme is open to students with a bachelor's degree in engineering or equivalent.
You must have a minimum of 25 ECTS credits in mathematics, 5 ECTS credits in statistics and 5 ECTS credits in physics in your bachelor's/undergraduate degree.
The master's programme is open to both international and Norwegian students.
The application portal opens 1 November.
