Programme characteristics

Cybernetics and robotics (KyR) is a selective, demanding and attractive programme for talented, interested and hardworking students. It aims to develop creativity, critical and structured thinking and flexibility in our students, as well as to promote their independence. At the same time, we require our students to be able to cooperate as a team and to embrace the philosphy of life-long learning throughout their whole career. While preparing this study programme, we took into consideration the guidelines of international professional associations IFAC and IEEE and also inspired ourselves by the best of similar courses at world's prestigious universities, from which will emerge the colleagues and competitors of our graduates.

Science and research

Our programme is based on world renowned personalities of both academic and industrial sphere, who not only prepared the course itself, but will also be teaching. With their help and guidance, our students can take up courses at renowned universities abroad. Our teaching is also closely linked with with the latest research of international level. Our students are not only taught the latest technologies, they are also trained to form new technologies themselves - technologies, which do not yet exist and which cannot even be predicted at this stage. Students can be directly involved in the research, which develops their knowledge and skills and also brings them extra income.

Goals

Students of cybernetics and robotics will gain profound knowledge of engineering principles based on mathematics, physics, informatics, systems, robotics, cyber and electrical sciences and will develop their knowledge further by creative work in laboratories and on various projects. Students are able to influence their study plans and adapt them according to their own interests, goals and abilities. Complexity and flexibility of the course, with it´s emphasis on fundamentals, interdisciplinary approaches, creativity, critical thinking and cooperation skills will be crucial in the career of our graduates and will bring them a significant advantage over their competitors. The programme is designed to prepare our graduates for the work of an engineer of the 21st century, who is flexible to switch between tasks, teams, companies and even fields of expertise.

Graduates

Graduates of the Cybernetics and Robotics course not only easily find employment, but they are often able to freely choose themselves from offers of renowned hi-tech companies or establish their own businesses. Because their profile is not limited to the specific needs of today's companies, our graduates can face the challenges of the future, of which we have no idea today. The programme prepares students not only for their first job, but also for their fifth, tenth and even for the last job of their career, sometime between 2060-70. Studying Cybernetics and Robotics provides good foundation skills of wider application even for those, who will ultimately take up careers in different fields than they originally intended.
