The Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program at Northwestern University is a one-year, interdepartmental graduate program that equips engineers with the tools to work in the rapidly growing field of robotics.

The goal of this master's program is to provide:

Knowledge and experience in a broad array of concentrations including computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and mathematics
Support in creating an online project portfolio to showcase projects completed as part of the program
Access to work on projects from leading industrial partners
Opportunities for industrial internships

The Robotics program bridges the knowledge and experience gap between an undergraduate engineering degree and a successful career in the exciting field of robotics.

Why Northwestern University?

The interdepartmental nature of our program exposes students to a broad range of engineering and other disciplines, preparing them for a diverse set of career options. Students in our program enjoy the benefits of:

A small cohort facilitating direct collaboration with faculty and networking opportunities
Faculty from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines
Collaboration with pre-existing research programs including:

Multiple Northwestern engineering departments
Northwestern's Neuroscience and Robotics Lab (NxR)
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago)
Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management

Work on a variety of research projects such as bio-inspired sensing and control, haptics, automatic control, dynamics, swarm robotics, prosthetics, or human-robot interaction
Building experience with implementation of both hardware and software systems

Career Opportunities

Students in the MSR program have an array of career plans after graduation. Some students plan on seeking a robotics-focused job in industry, some are planning on utilizing their MSR experience as a transition into robotics-related PhD research, and others have entrepreneurial plans. In addition to industry networking and internship opportunities available through enrollment in this program, all students have access to Northwestern's robust career services such as the Northwestern Career Advancement office and the Engineering Career Development office.
