Ph.D. program, Mathematics of Computation and Decision Making (M), Biomedical Engineering (M), Electronics and Information Processing (M), Informatics for Life Sciences (M)

The Department’s credo is that it should cover the entire spectrum of Computer Science and Informatics as well as Computer Engineering. Apart from wide range, we aim to provide lasting education, by focusing on fundamental aspects which remain unchanged or evolve at a very slow pace. In addition, elective courses on cutting-edge research and technologies keep our students informed on scientific advances. Our students learn to interleave theory and practice, obtain hands-on experience through extensive projects, and acquire a large set of cognitive and practical skills.
