Goals of the study programme
The aim of the doctoral study programme System Engineering and Informatics (DSP SYEI) is to develop students' ability to work independently as well as team-based scientific and scientific work, to support the study of demanding scientific and professional literature and to teach them to apply the results achieved in practice. The aim is that the graduate of the study is an expert highly competent especially in the areas of:
- General methodology and methods of professional and scientific work;
- Creative work in an interdisciplinary work teams, systems thinking and thinking to solve problems in different areas of human activity;
- Systems Theory and applied Systems Sciences, mathematical and statistical modeling and simulations;
- Data analysis and processing to address well structured, partially structured and unstructured problems;
- Applied Informatics, Artificial Intelligence Methods and Big Data Processing;
Concept of study
The study programme is for four years, which creates sufficient time for research of students and for the preparation of a quality dissertation. Great emphasis in the concept of study is on research work of PhD students. The number and structure of basic compulsory examinations is adapted to this. In addition to an English exam, a PhD student must pass two compulsory subjects that are linked to the subject profile. Additional study and research responsibilities can be tailored to the student's needs within the Credit System, either more examinations or more publications (beyond basic responsibilities). This approach will enable students to concentrate their potential on research leading to the development of a high-quality dissertation.
