Process Automation and Informatization

The aim is to strengthen and increase a graduate's accomplishments and enhance preobtained knowledge appertaining to their scientific advances in the field of automated and automatic control systems, information systems and technologies, problem solving associated with complex systems development, in experimental preparation and control with the help of systems modelling, systems simulation and optimization, problem and integration methods of information and control systems of all levels, methods and techniques of knowledge acquisition for hierarchical control systems.

A graduate procures extensive understanding of intelligent control methods and the concept of Industry 4.0 including the constituent parts of its framework.

This study programme provides further preparation necessary for independent task-solving in numerous branches of automation (advanced methods of systems theory for automation control, methods of intelligent control, automata theory, principles of designing automated and automatic systems alongside their security information and event management).

Careers

By way of illustration, and with regard to statistical data, multitude of the graduates operate within executive functions in research and development centres in BMW Munich, Leibniz-Institut für Festkörper- und Werkstoffforschung Drážďany, Hewlett-Packard Slovakia, VUJE a.s. etc.

On the report of The Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic project, sustavapovolani.sk, a person who has successfully completed the course of study can seek positions of employment as a: ICT project manager, ICT business analyst, ICT services and solutions manager, ICT process specialist, CIO, software developer, software solution designer, research and development manager, data analyst, data scientist, big data expert.
