MSc Automation and Control Engineering

The graduate in Automation and Control Engineering is an expert who can actively participate and take the lead in the executive design and development of products and systems. She/he may take on full responsibility for designing, installing, testing and maintaining complex machines and systems. The goal of the Automation and Control Engineering programme is to provide the graduate with a strong background in fundamental scientific disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, in classical engineering fields, such as thermodynamics, mechanics, electric drives, automatic control, and in the disciplines of the information and telecommunication technology, like computer science, electronics, communication networks. Thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of her/his background, the graduate has all the necessary skills to design or manage systems resulting from the integration of highly diverse components and technologies. What You Will Study Students will study core topics including automatic control, applied mechanics, electrical machines and drives, mathematics, physics, computer science, electronics, and communication networks, gaining a multi-disciplinary engineering education. Career Opportunities Graduates can take responsibility for designing, installing, testing, and maintaining complex machines and systems across a variety of industries. The flexibility in skills prepares students for a broad range of engineering applications and rapid technological developments. Why This Programme The programme’s interdisciplinary approach equips graduates with robust engineering skills and knowledge in emerging technologies, addressing the dynamic needs of the industry and job market.

A Bachelor Degree in a related area, with a solid background in the fundamentals of Engineering, i.e. Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics. Adequate skills in the core disciplines, i.e. Automatic Control, Applied Mechanics, Electrical Machines and Drives.
