Follow the smart track!

The studies in the Master’s Degree Programme: Smart Systems specialisation track provide advanced training in smart technologies and enable you to deal with the challenges and opportunities of modern industry.

A smart system makes use of artificial intelligence algorithms and control technologies to integrate sensors and actuators so that devices can operate autonomously and intelligently. It should therefore be able to make reasonable predictions about the expected results of its own actions, adapt to operational changes, and learn from experience.

In order to meet the current demands of modern industry, the Smart Systems track gives access to courses in robotics, machine learning, intelligent control, digital factory, systems engineering, and modelling. This interdisciplinary approach offers you a wide range of cutting-edge knowledge in smart technologies and helps you step through the doors of the fourth industrial revolution.
