1. General Information
Postgraduate studies in intelligent systems aim to provide top scientific and research staff to meet the growing demand for highly qualified engineers capable of overcoming the most challenging development, research and process problems. Students in this study program gain knowledge that provides them with great professional flexibility and a wide selection of jobs wherever there is a need to apply problem-solving skills, as well as critical thinking skills, which they will use to solve complex problems. which are in the domain of intelligent systems. Students enrolling and graduating in this field are highly sought after in companies and research centers. In addition to being trained to participate in the development, implementation and maintenance of a variety of applications in the field of intelligent systems, including the business domain, they will have the necessary basis to pursue doctoral studies, as well as to participate in interdisciplinary science projects. and technology.
