Scope and objective
The postgraduate program ‘Informatics Engineering’ has duration 18 months (3 semesters) and aims to provide candidates with high quality theoretical and practical knowledge on established and emerging topics in Informatics Engineering . The program is organized around modules (courses) comprising theoretical and laboratory work which is undertaken in the first and second semesters. The final semester is devoted to the development of a research-oriented Master thesis on a competitive subject. At the end of the postgraduate program successful candidates should be able to demonstrate expertise in a selected domain of Informatics Engineering, as well as competence in defining, organizing and conducting research.

Studies Program’s innovations
Since the academic year 2015 -2016, the study program has been improved and enriched, offering a range of privileges and advantages making it one of the most competitive programs in the academic field of our country.

Elective Courses – Specialization
