Bachelor in Master Electromechanical Engineering Robotics Mechanical

Graduates of this programme typically thrive in high-tech industries, moving into roles such as robotics engineers, automation specialists, mechanical design engineers, or systems integrators. The curriculum bridges the gap between mechanical design and intelligent control, equipping students to navigate the complexities of modern manufacturing, research and development, and advanced engineering sectors.

This specialisation within the Master of Electromechanical Engineering is tailored for those who wish to master the synergy between hardware and software. It offers a deep dive into the mechanics of robotics, control systems, and actuators, set against the backdrop of world-class research facilities at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. What sets this programme apart is its focus on the 'mechatronic' mindset—the ability to think across traditional disciplinary borders to create smarter, more efficient, and more autonomous machines.

Integrated Robotics Approach

The programme balances rigorous theoretical foundations with practical, hands-on applications. You will engage with advanced topics including:

• Kinematics and dynamics of robotic manipulators
• Embedded systems and intelligent control architectures
• Advanced materials and sensor integration
• Real-time systems for industrial and service robotics
