Curriculum
Master's programme in Robotics and Computer Engineering trains highly qualified roboticists, computer and space engineers. The programme provides broad knowledge in robotics, computer engineering or space technology. Graduates can work in enterprises or research and development centres connected to their field of study.
People are surrounded by devices that combine electronics and informatics. The master's programme focuses on the development of high-tech systems and equipment. It combines both hardware and software. Three main specialisation areas are computers, robots and space technology.
The University of Tartu researchers have developed a variety of innovative devices: robotics mannequin, which allows people to choose clothes online that fit them; artificial muscle, which is used in manufacturing artificial limbs and robots; underwater robot. These are just a few examples of intelligent materials and systems laboratories.
ESTCube-1 was the first Estonian satellite built by the students from the University of Tartu, Estonian Aviation Academy, TalTech and Estonian University of Life Sciences. Its mission ended in 2015; however, the second one is currently being built. The University of Tartu student-led robot football team has participated in the robot football competition RoboCup SPL.
The curriculum consists of:
- basic module (24 ECTS)
- seminar module (12 ECTS)
- specialisation module (24 ECTS)
- narrow field module (24 ECTS)
- optional subjects (6 ECTS)
- master's thesis (30 ECTS)
There are three specialisations:
- Computer Engineering
- Robotics
- Space Technology
Examples of courses:
- Data Acquisition and Signal Processing
- Digital Image Processing
