The two year 120 ECTS MSc Program in Robotics is designed to prepare students to work as professional scientists and engineers who can excel in academia, public policy, and private business fields in the field of robotics.
The curriculum was designed with respect to electrical, mechanical and artificial intelligence aspects of the modern robotics systems. Graduates will develop an advanced understanding of the critical issues involved in the design of robotic systems in a global economy as well as of the emerging proliferation of robotics in the service sector.
Framework of the SEDS Robotics Master’s Program:
The program intends to prepare graduates for jobs in growing priority sectors in Kazakhstan, including multiple manufacturing sectors, such as machinery, energy, chemistry, electronics and innovation. Graduates of the program will have advanced research skills that would enable them to explore important questions in intelligent systems and make significant ongoing contributions in technologically diverse and dynamic economic environments, both in Kazakhstan and abroad.

Total Number of Credits: 120 ECTS
Program Elective Courses
In the second semester of Year 1, students will take one elective course within SEDS MSc courses, in line with their interests, for example to strengthen their knowledge of applied mathematics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or computer science. Two more elective courses in the third semester will be taken by students to further specialize in their thesis research direction. Available robotics elective courses are listed below.
- ROBT 611 Industrial Robotics
- ROBT 613 Brain Machine Interfaces
- ROBT 615 Optimal Control and Planning
