Master Degree Study

In the Master’s degree, we offer the study program in Process Control as a part of the study field of Cybernetics. The graduate acquires the following knowledge, skills, and competencies:

  • KNOWLEDGE: He or she has knowledge of basic methods of analysis and design of safety features of control systems or their parts; knowledge needed to explain, describe and design advanced automatic control methods; knowledge of selected methods of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and knowledge needed to assess the appropriateness of their use; knowledge on requirements engineering, requirements modelling methods and basic system development models; knowledge on the management of complex tasks and system integration tasks; and about visualization tools and their use.
  • SKILLS: He or she can analyse the given problem and identify factors affecting the safety of the control system or its part; create a mathematical/graphic-mathematical model describing the safety features of the control system or its part and propose measures for their improvement; implement discrete parametric identification of systems and examine their properties (stability, accuracy, quality, controllability, observability, etc.); analyse, design and apply advanced cybernetic methods and model and control structures, and establish methods, algorithms and programmatic implementations of controlling complex systems; creatively solve complex decision-making and control problems under conditions of incompleteness and/or uncertainty of data and information; implement control system development using CAD tools and approaches; create complex solutions with the application of modern technologies (Cloud, big data, edge computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.); optimize selected types of control processes; visualize selected types of control processes; use appropriate SW tools to solve specific problem-oriented engineering tasks.
  • COMPETENCIES: He or she can interpret, critically assess and present information obtained in the process of analysing the safety of control systems or their parts; educate yourself, continue further self-study, and present conclusions, findings, and justifications to both experts and laymen; work as an independent investigator of an individual project; work as a member of the project team.

The study program follows the latest trends in the field of Cybernetics and reflects the way of understanding the physical-cybernetic systems applied at the University of Berkeley, USA (see the original source http://CyberPhysicalSystems.org).

Ready for Job Positions

According to the existing qualification structures (e.g. the National System of Qualifications), the graduate will be employed in professions corresponding to SKKR level 7, especially as an Automated Production Specialist (in a revised form consisting of expansion and adaptation to the latest trends in the field of cybernetics - the concept of cyber-physical systems). The graduate is thus prepared for employment in the following areas:

  • Industrial process control
  • Transport process control
  • Physical-cybernetic systems
  • Control and information systems in process control
  • Robotic systems and mobile robotics
  • Visualization of processes in the field of industry and transport.
  • Safety of control systems.
  • Control systems based on safety-PLC.
  • Exponential technologies
  • Applications: industry, transport (road/railway), computerization.

A graduate of the study programme in Process Control is also prepared for Ph.D. degree study and, using the acquired knowledge and skills, can directly continue his/her studies in subsequent doctoral study programs in the field of Cybernetics.
