Programme structure

In the programme option Cybernetics and autonomous systems you will mainly choose among the courses listed below, but in consultation with your supervisor you may choose other courses. By choosing wisely, you will construct your own course of study, or specialize towards research, industry or energy- and environmental monitoring. You will typically take Master's courses at the Department of Informatics, the Department of Technology Systems, the Department of Physics or at the Department of Mathematics.

You can choose between writing a long Master's thesis (60 ECTS) or a short Master's thesis (30 ECTS). In both cases, you and your supervisor will find relevant courses to support the thesis so that the total Master's study comes to 120 ECTS.

At least half of your credits must be chosen from the list of core courses. Two of these courses are strongly recommended for all cybernetics students but can be replaced with other core courses if your thesis requires it.
