Study programme aims and objectives

The goal of Hardware Development and Programming master programme is to educate creators (specifying, Show more...
designing, producing, testing) and users (specifying, installing, tuning, operating, maintaining, deposing) of embedded and electronic systems as well of control equipment.
Typical representatives of such technical systems are control and monitoring systems in various fields, diagnostic systems, control systems of technological devices and processes, building automation, security and technical systems.
Graduates of the study programme will find work as top specialists in companies that design and manage control, electronic and computer-based complete systems, as well as the design and production of corresponding components. Thorough theoretical preparation creates good prerequisites for continuing studies at doctoral level.
