Intelligent Information Systems (4+1)

Intelligent Information Systems (4+1)

1. General information 
 
The science of building artificial intelligent systems takes the central place in the engineering sciences. There are two main approaches in developing artificial intelligent systems: machines that incorporate intelligence – robots, and one that starts with biological systems and leads towards artificial being – bioinformatics and bioengineering. The Intelligent System Engineering is the place where students can understand and develop intelligent systems in solving real-life problems.

Computer networks and e-technologies (3+1+1)

Computer networks and e-technologies (3+1+1)

1. General information 
 
The goal of the computer networks and e-technologies master studies is to provide top quality European education and training for ICT engineers. The studies offer deeper and specialized knowledge about computer networks and e-technologies. Upon completion of this master study programme the ICT engineers are expected to take up responsible higher level positions in the business and engineering processes of planning, design, managing and monitoring of computer networks. They are also expected to be able to efficiently and effectively employ various state of the art e-technologies and fully understand their business aspects.
  • Offered by: Ss. Cyril and Methodius University - Skopje, Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering – FCSE
  • Study programme: Computer networks and e-technologies master studies
  • Scientific-research field: Engineering and Technology
  • Category: Electrical engineering, Electronic engineering, Information engineering
  • Sub-category: Communication engineering and systems
  • The master studies cycle consists of 60 ECTS.
  • Study duration: 2 semesters
  • One academic year is divided into two semesters with 30 weeks each (1 semester = 15 weeks)
  • The first semester is comprised of courses only, while in the second semester there are fewer courses and the rest of the time is devoted to the final project, i.e. master thesis.
  • Enrollment requisites: fully completed undergraduate study cycle with a minimum of 240 ECTS with a degree in the fields of computer science and/or computer engineering. In the case of having an appropriate degree with less than 240 ECTS, the student has to enroll the introductory courses first.
  • Introductory courses: only for students that have obtained less than 240 ECTS. A number of differential introductory courses are offered in order to level up the required competences. Upon successful completion of the introductory courses, the student has the right to continue with the formal master study programme courses in the second year of studies.
  • First semester: 3 compulsory courses + 2 elective courses (one of the elective courses can be chosen from the courses list offered by the University)
  • Second semester: 1 compulsory course + 1 elective course (can be chosen from the courses list offered by the University only in the event that this opportunity has not been used in the previous semester) + final master thesis project that equals 18 ECTS.
  • 1 ECTS = 30 hours of work load.
  • Contact hours per week is 4. 
Degree: Master of computer science and engineering in the field of computer networks and e-technologies
