Scholarship Program for European and Non-European applicants for masters studies in Computer Vision and Robotics
Study Subject: Computer Vision and Robotics
Employer: Erasmus Mundus
Level: Master’s
Scholarship Description: The VIBOT Master is divided into four semesters designed and developed to ensure a clear and structured educational progress in the field of computer vision and robotics, fully integrated among the three universities of the consortium:
* semester 1 (UB): fundamentals on image processing, sensors and acquisition, mathematics and computer sciences, are taught (basis) ;
* semester 2 (UDG): improvements on image processing and pattern recognition, complements on computer vision and medical imaging and an introduction on robotics are delivered (reinforcement);
* semester 3 (HWU): high-level processing and methods are introduced for real-time implementation and integration of vision and robotics (capitalization);
* semester 4 (research lab or company): research training in an applied or academic context (going further)
The overall objective is to start from science fundamentals and low-level image processing, and then to introduce mid-level image processing, computer vision and applications in medical imaging and to end with robotics and high-level integration so that the main methods and algorithms in the state-of-art of computer vision and robotics (through both a theoretical and applied point of view) are covered.
An induction week is organized each year in September during which the enrolled students are informed about the programme, the assessment and the rules. The induction week also permits new students to meet second-year students or former VIBOT students.
You can apply to VIBOT as a student or as a scholar (academic visitor). In the former case, prospective applicants are asked to first compile and submit the application form following criteria and requirements. In the latter case, read the Academic Visitors menu, then compile and submit the application form.
Please make sure to apply before the application deadlines.
