The evolution of computing systems and the emergence of new infrastructures affect various sectors such as urban living, transportation systems, infrastructure networks, industry, and healthcare. These developments create new opportunities and enable the use of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Personalized communication with computing systems through voice recognition and artificial sensing technologies, the use of virtual and augmented reality technologies, robotics applications, smart Industry 4.0, and blockchain technologies are already in use. Meanwhile, quantum computing technologies, though not yet widely available, are the focus of research by institutes and companies. All these technologies and their related applications stem from the advancements in the underlying computing systems.
The Postgraduate Programme focuses on computing systems, the technologies they rely on, as well as their design, programming, and applications. The aim of the programme is to provide specialized knowledge in cutting-edge computing technologies and in the development of advanced services leveraging these technologies. The Programme emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, ensuring that graduates acquire a high level of theoretical understanding, expertise, and hands-on experience. In this way, they can meet the demands imposed by rapid technological developments and the job market. Another goal of the Programme is to promote systematic, fundamental, and applied scientific research, contributing to the generation of new knowledge, the acquisition of expertise, and the shaping of technological advancements.
The Programme’s objective is to educate scientists who will serve in public organizations and private enterprises, as well as in educational institutions and research centers, thereby contributing to the nation’s further technological modernization and advancement.
Through high-level training and the examination of real-world case studies, the Programme fosters the development of practical skills. More specifically, upon completion of the programme, graduates will be capable of, among other things:
