exhibit the ability to account clearly for and discuss conclusions and the knowledge and arguments that form the basis of these in dialogue form with different groups in both a national and international context, verbally and in writing, and exhibit such skills that are required to participate in research and development work or to independently work in other qualified areas.
Ability to assess and approach To be granted a Masters degree, the student must within the main field of study for the education, exhibit the ability to make assessments by taking into consideration relevant scientific, societal and ethical aspects and exhibit an awareness of ethical aspects with regard to research and development work, exhibit insight as to the opportunities and the limitations that science has, its role in society and mans responsibility as to how it is used, and exhibit the ability to identify the need for further knowledge and to assume responsibility for the development of personal knowledge.

create abstractions and formal models which describe computer scientific contexts and phenomenon, independently formalise computer scientific problems and solve them by using computer scientific techniques, theories and tools, actively and independently evaluate own knowledge requirements and be able to further develop all the skills, abilities and knowledge in computer science. To focus on robotics, the student should also be able to display considerable in-depth knowledge in robotics and control techniques, assimilate new research results and participate in advanced development work in robotics and control techniques, create abstractions and formal models which describe contexts and phenomenon in robotics and control techniques, independently formulated formalise problems in robotics and control techniques and solve them by using the techniques, theories and tools used in the field of study, actively and independently evaluate own knowledge requirements and be able to further develop own skills, abilities and knowledge in robotics and control techniques.

Elective courses
The remaining 60 university credits are general to the programme or associated to the two profiles, robotics and control techniques, which are recommended study paths. It is also possible to choose freely from courses in both profiles. . The programme is being developed, the selection therefore of elective courses may change. In addition, there may occur variations in the courses offered from year to year. The courses must be chosen so that the requirements in the prevailing qualification descriptor are fulfilled. The entry requirements for certain courses are higher than the admission requirements for the programme. Details are available in the syllabus for each course (see http://www.cs.umu.se/kurser, and www.tfe.umu.se/utbildning/Utbildning). The courses listed below are elective in the programme. The courses have been divided up based on the profiles they are primarily associated with.

On an elective course, the student has a guaranteed place from a selection of courses which are the equivalent of full-time studies, but there is no guarantee of first choice. Elective courses from other seats of learning may qualify to be included in the examination. Optional courses Optional courses are applied for in open competition. Optional courses from other seats of learning may qualify to be included in the degree.
Programme overview
Each academic year is divided up into an autumn and spring term. Each term is divided up into two study periods. Usually, to courses are studied at the same time during one period. The teaching is provided in the form of lectures, seminars, group exercises and supervision in connection with laboratory experiments and written assignments. Laboratory experiments and written assignments are usually compulsory, and make up an important part of the education. The reporting of these usually includes verbal and written parts. In order to maintain the pace of studies necessary to follow the programme, normally a 40 hour working week is required. The proportion of scheduled teaching each week, is however considerably less than 40 hours. Course literature and teaching is mainly in English. The normal arrangement of courses from a time aspect is shown in the block diagram below. The schedules for both profiles should only be regarded as examples, this is because it is possible to create your own profile via the elective courses. Deviations and variations can however occur from year to year. Links to current information is available at www.cs.umu.se/kurser, and www.tfe.umu.se/utbildning/Utbildning.

Degree project/Independent project The degree project concludes the education and maybe started when the entry requirements for the course syllabus are met. The degree project comprises 30 university credit in which the student applies the knowledge acquired during the study period and verbally and also via a written report/paper expresses the results of his/her work. The work should include some form of subject-related in-depth study within the area. The degree project is normally carried out on an individual basis, but in certain circumstances it is permitted for two students to cooperate. The degree project may be carried out at a company. The work carried out on the degree project does however form a part of university studies. A supervisor at the university will always be appointed, he/she will be responsible for ensuring that the requisite advanced studies are achieved. The report will be linguistically and stylistically designed so that it will correspond qualitatively with reports produced at universities and in industry. The report must include an English summary, and an English translation of the title. Alternatively, the entire report may be written in English.

The student has the right of assessment to find out whether a previous education or activity can be accepted in the form of an academic credit transfer. For more information, see the Higher Education Ordinance and: www.umu.se/studentcentrum/regler_riktlinjer/index.html A negative decision regarding academic credit transfer is possible to appeal against to the Higher Education Appeals Board. A negative decision must also be motivated in writing.
Other regulations
Temporary postponement of studies in conjunction with the beginning of studies Deferral of commencement of study may be granted if there are special reasons for doing so: Examples of special reasons are illness, military service, pregnancy, care of children or other responsibility for nursing etc. Your application should be sent in writing to StudentCentrum (the Student Centre). A negative decision on deferral of commencement of study may be appealed to the Higher Education Appeals Board.

Interruption of studies Students who leave the study programme must notify the programme study guidance officer of the interruption of studies. Discontinuation A negative decision on being allowed to resume studies after a break in study may be appealed to the Higher Education Appeals Board. Advisement against (optional information) Further information can be obtained from programme coordinator or the programme study advisor via the University switchboard 090/786 50 00, or via the website www.teknat.umu.se/UmTH/utbildningsinfo.
