SCA/SC Master – Sisteme și Control Automat / Systems and Control

The Master’s degree program in Systems and Control (SC) – taught in English – is aimed at graduates of bachelor’s degree programs who have a basic understanding of automatic control and wish to deepen their knowledge in research areas that focus on:

  • modelling, simulation, identification, analysis, and design of automatic control systems using advanced methods; 
  • design, implementation, testing, utilization, and maintenance of systems with digital and analog equipment, advanced structures in the field of automatic control; 
  • development of software applications for the implementation of algorithms and control structures using programming environments, artificial intelligence techniques, and advanced technologies.

Why Systems and Control?

The refinement of preparation during undergraduate studies can bring, in addition to personal satisfaction, increased chances of employment and the development of a successful career in a field that is highly valued now and in the future.

In this regard, the Department of Automatic Control and Applied Informatics offers the master’s program in Systems and Control, with a curriculum compatible with similar programs in the European Union.

Will I like it? Yes, if…

  • I want to acquire new knowledge that will complement what I learned during my undergraduate studies in a related field.
  • I intend to be part of research and development groups in a cutting-edge field of technology.
  • I wish to use modern methods and techniques of automatic control and to work with state-of-the-art equipment.
  • I want to prepare myself to face the competition in the job market.
  • I am motivated and interested in building a professional career in a modern field with promising prospects.
