Field of study: Computer Science

Specialization: Advanced Informatics and Control

This course specialization has specific – it is Polish – English course specialization governed by Professor Kasprzak from Wroclaw University of Technology (WrUT), Poland and Professor Keith J. Burnham from Coventry University (CU), the UK. It is anticipated that students will spend a part of study with WrUT and another part of study in CU. There are also possibilities to get two MSc Diplomas – from WrUT and from CU, after completing 90 ECTS and preparing proper Final Projects. The course specialization program contains more than 50 % of active forms like classes (tutorials), laboratory training, and preparing assigned projects.
