After graduating in Computer Science, I was looking for a master’s degree that would allow me to specialise in robotics. The MIRS in Girona proved to be the perfect option, both academically and personally. The programme offers a solid technical grounding and the city is incredible. Being close to both the mountains and the beach makes it ideal for anyone who enjoys nature and outdoor activities. If you are passionate about robotics and are looking for somewhere with a great learning environment and a good quality of life, Girona is the ideal place.

The MIRS programme was a great boost for my academic career. In addition to the weekly classes, I took advantage of the opportunity to join the CIRS research laboratory, where I contributed to the development of the new AUV, the Mini Girona. This experience significantly deepened my knowledge of hardware systems and allowed me to apply the algorithms I had learnt in class –on location, planning, vision and intervention– in a real environment.

I chose the MIRS because I wanted to continue my studies in an area that was in line with my interests in robotics after completing my bachelor's degree in computer engineering. The programme not only allowed my to further my knowledge, but also significantly improved my English skills through interaction with people from all around the world, which has been hugely valuable in the academic area as well as in the professional sense.

Coming from mechanical engineering and aeronautical maintenance, I was looking for a programme that connected artificial intelligence with robotics. I chose the MIRS because it is one of the few masters that I found focused in this crucial integration. I am sure it will help me in my professional development to work in Europe and I really value the international and multidisciplinary environment of the master very much. I feel and I am sure that this is the beginning of a new chapter in my life.
