Beskrivning

The Master’s degree programme (part-time studies, 2 years) in Automation Technology - intelligent systems is designed for the professional engineer who wants to deepen his/her knowledge and understanding of the methods and possibilities of modern automation and control systems. The students will study automation and control both on a theoretical level and on a practical level – learning to design, test and implement intelligent control, supervisory and automation systems. A special emphasis is put on using modern methods of machine learning and decision making in the development of sustainable applications in control and automation.

The programme consists of degree specific professional studies (30 ECTS) and a Master’s thesis (30 ECTS). The studies are designed for students who are already working. During these two years, the studies are scheduled for two days a month from September to May at Campus Vaasa.

Sustainable development is the foundation of our future. Therefore, issues related to sustainability are included in many of our courses, sometimes as central content, sometimes as a setting. From UN's 17 goals for sustainable development, number 7 (Affordable and clean energy), 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable cities and communities) and 12 (Responsible consumption and production) are paid attention to in the education.
