Systems, control and mechatronics master's programme​ at​ Chalmers

The aim of the master's programme is to prepare you for a professional career by providing a broad systems engineering base, suited to the engineering of complex, computer-controlled (embedded) products and systems. The programme also offers course packages towards subtopics (e.g. control; automation; mechatronics), and/or fields of application. Applications span a wide spectrum, from small consumer devices and medical equipment to large systems for process and production control.

Modern passenger cars increasingly depend on the integration of the car’s mechanical subsystems, with a substantial number of embedded computers, sensors, actuators, and communication devices, making it possible to create cars with active safety functions and new propulsion systems. Other evolving fields of this discipline are HVDC power transmission to minimize the loss in the grid, and intelligent robots for households and industry, to name a few. To ensure development within the field, all these systems depend on engineers making them precise, effective, flexible, fast and safe. As a student, you will be able to contribute to the development that will lead to the integration of functions for sensing, monitoring and control with a wide range of products and systems. In collaboration with Universität Stuttgart, we offer you a possibility to pursue a double degree.

The master's programme Systems, control and mechatronics leads to a wide range of career opportunities with an emphasis on operation, design, development and research of complex technical systems within almost any branch of industry. In fact, the generality of many of the methods offers great opportunities in terms of choosing among many different application domains. The acquired skills are needed at manufacturing companies, supplier companies, consulting firms and utility companies. Job roles range from applied research to product and system development and operation, as well as extend to sales support and product planning. In addition, other career opportunities may arise as academic researchers, technical advisors, project managers and teachers at different levels.

Topics covered

The subjects of mechatronic systems and  automatic control are fundamental areas in the System, control and mechatronics master’s programme. The courses included in the programme plan handle topics such as automation and power electronic equipment.

More programs from the university

Chalmers University of Technology offers 39 Master’s Programmes taught in English for in the areas of Engineering, Architecture and Technology Management. Over a third of the students enrolled on our Master’s Programmes are international students. Fee-paying students have numerous scholarship opportunities.

The composition and content of Chalmers’ Masters programmes is strongly linked to the needs of the industry. Prominent multinational companies are regularly consulted and included in the process of developing and improving the Master’s Programmes so as to ensure that students are job-ready upon graduation. It is consequently no surprise that Chalmers ranks high in the QS category Employer Reputation.

Chalmers’ Careers Service helps students find a job in today’s competitive market. In addition to seminars and workshops, students have access to career and job search advice. The Chalmers Careers Service works with many employers, consultants, alumni and other universities in order to help students find job opportunities.

All International Masters students have the option of taking Swedish language course for all Master’s students. The cost of the course is included in the tuition fee. 

Application period for Master's programmes starts in Mid October - Mid January every year.
