The follow-up study programme Smart Cities (SC) focuses on the closer integration of transport, urban planning and architecture. The essence of Smart Cities is the development of cities, in this case transport systems, according to the principles of sustainability using smart technologies, all with the aim to improve the quality of life. Among others, we work closely on teaching the part of the study programme that we run (semesters 1 and 2) with the Faculty of Architecture.
The aim of the Master's degree programme SC - Smart Cities is to prepare graduates who, in addition to knowledge in the field of transport, also have knowledge in the field of system sciences and are well versed in the interdisciplinary environment of "Smart Cities", i.e. they maintain a holistic view of the problem in context.
The international dimension of the study programme will enable students not only to gain professional knowledge but also experience in studying and working in an international environment, to improve their language skills and to be able to present the results of their work to an international audience.
The partner university is UTEP, USA.
The study is carried out in English language, in the first year it takes place at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences and in the second year the student goes to the American University UTEP. Both parts of the study are carried out free of charge, and there is no fee for the entire regular study of the programme (4 semesters).
In this programme, you will be accompanied by colleagues from the American partner university UTEP, who will complete the programme in reverse order. This fact characterises best the concept of the study programme, where you are gradually introduced to separate comprehensive blocks in the field of transport, which will eventually allow you to understand the concepts and solutions of Smart Cities in the world and to design independently innovative solutions, all with an international overlap.
Students will be prepared for careers involving the design, implementation and operation of Smart Cities, including working in international practice, innovative research and interdisciplinary environments, or for follow-up doctoral study.
Graduates of the SC - Smart Cities Master's degree programme will acquire knowledge in the fields of transport, intelligent transport systems, systems science, logistics, project management, basic urban planning, Smart Cities design including related Smart Cities theory and supporting computer tools.
