Enrolling for this plan is also possible having completed the Preparatory Programme Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering unless other conditions are specified below.
The Robotics and Mechanical Construction track of the Master of Science in Electromechanical Engineering (BRUFACE) (120 ECTS) is built up modularly:
1) Common Core Courses
2) Partially Common Courses
3) Master Project (to select 1 out of 4)
4) Specific Courses
5) Master Thesis
6) Electives
Each of the modules should be successfully completed to obtain the master degree. The student must respect the specified registration requirements. The educational board strongly suggests the student to follow the model learning track. Only this model track can guarantee a time schedule without overlaps of the compulsory course units.
These common core courses must be successfully completed in the 1st and 2nd year of the model learning track in Robotics and Mechanical Construction.
Common Core MA1
These common courses must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track in Mechatronics-Construction.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 19 ECTS credits.
| 5ECTS credits - Control System Design |
| 5ECTS credits - Design Methodology |
| 4ECTS credits - Data-Driven Engineering |
| 5ECTS credits - Electrical Drives |
Common Core MA1
This common course must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track in Mechatronics-Construction.

The Master Thesis (24 ECTS) is compulsory. Registration for the Master Thesis is allowed provided that
1. the student doesn't have a combined bachelor-master enrollment
2. the student has already successfully accomplished 45 ECTS of compulsory courses of the master program (exemptions included).
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 24 ECTS credits.
| 24ECTS credits - Master Thesis Electromechanical Engineering |
| 24ECTS credits - Master Thesis Electromechanical Engineering ULB |
In the 2nd year of the model learning track in Robotics and Mechanical Construction, students must successfully complete 20 ECTS of elective courses. Registration for the electives is allowed on condition the student has already successfully accomplished at least 30 ECTS of compulsory courses of the Master in Electromechanical Engineering.
Students have to give priority to the master specific electives. They can choose these electives from the list mentioned below, or from outside of this list when sufficiently motivated and subject to approval by the chair person of the program. At most 6 ECTS of electives can be chosen outside of the list below.
Don't forget to look at the Bruface internship regulations on the website: http://www.bruface.eu/information-for-current-students .
Please consider carefully the required background knowledge before selecting these courses. Pay specific attention to the courses classified as specialised.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 20 ECTS credits.
