How to apply

Autonomous Systems and Intelligent Robots - ICT Innovation (EIT Digital Master School), Master of Science (Technology)

From self-driving cars and robotic assistants to the Internet of Things and AI-driven hardware devices and software solutions – the future is undeniably autonomous. As an emerging technology, autonomous systems present both significant opportunities and inherent risks. Successfully navigating this complex landscape requires not only a solid understanding of the underlying technologies but, more importantly, the ability to critically evaluate autonomous processes and effectively balance business impact against the resources invested.

Cloud and Network Infrastructures and High-Performance Computing - ICT Innovation (EIT Digital Master School), Master of Science (Technology)

When our networks became overwhelmed with connected devices and streaming services, cloud computing saved the day. Now, the so-called ‘cloudification’ of networks is set to unleash a new era of smart connectivity – enabling everything from Industry 4.0 applications to autonomous vehicles, 5G and 6G, augmented reality, and urban infrastructure. With the increase of AI, we need more focus on efficient and distributed computation in the form of high-performance computing.
