Intelligent Systems Engineering (3+1+1)

Intelligent Systems Engineering (3+1+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. 
  • Offered by: Ss. Cyril and Methodius University - Skopje, Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering – FCSE
  • Study programme: Intelligent Systems Engineering – bioinformatics / robotics
  • Scientific-research field: Engineering, Natural sciences and applied mathematics
  • Category: Informatics
  • Sub-category: Other
  • The master studies cycle consists of 60 ECTS.

New opportunities for students of all programmes - Business Accelerator UKIM (BAU) under the initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) announces open applications for the upcoming startup support/acceleration programmes.

EIT Jumpstarter offers access to the largest innovation network of EIT Communities for young entrepreneurs with innovative ideas who want to jumpstart their businesses.

If you are part of a scientific project team, innovator, scientist, PhD student or master’s student with a product or service idea to improve the existing markets in healthcare, agri-food, raw materials, energy, urban mobility or manufacturing sectors then EIT Jumpstarter is ideal for you. Through the programme, you will get the opportunity to work on bringing your idea out of the lab to the market.

During the 8-month duration, you will find and fit the best business model for your innovative idea. The courses build on the lean start-up methodology from Silicon Valley translated to the European Environment. To refine your deal you will learn market segmentation, customer value proposition, financials, investment basics, and legal basics.
