Master's thesis

The master’s thesis (30 ECTS credits) is the core of the master’s degree. The objective of the master’s thesis is to develop and demonstrate the student’s ability to apply research data and use chosen methods to analyse and solve problems arising in professional work. It also demonstrates the student’s readiness and ability for independent, demanding expert work.

Further studies

The graduate may apply to continue on to postgraduate studies in science or arts at universities (Act 558/2009, Section 37) and in the school of professional teacher education. The studies can be continued by applying e.g. to corresponding post-degree education at universities abroad. A university of applied sciences also provides opportunities for continuing education in the form of specialisation studies, open studies, an online study portal (CampusOnline) and working life based continuing education.

Get a job in a fast-growing sector

Robotics is a fast-growing sector. Traditional industrial robotics has long been used in industrial production, but now robotics use and exploitation is spreading to all areas of society. Robotics is part of the ongoing process of digitalisation, together with the Internet of Things, among others. Autonomous objects and devices are using artificial intelligence to perform tasks that have traditionally been performed by humans. This will enable the exploitation and expansion of robotics into entirely new applications and new areas. There is therefore a strong demand for robotics experts.
