Doctorate of Automatic Control and Informatics

The Doctorate of Automatic Control and Informatics is a three-year or four-year programme taught in English language at the Faculty of Applied Informatics (FAI) of Tomas Bata University in Zlín. This study programme is aimed at acquiring further knowledge in mathematics and related disciplines of technical cybernetics, such as automatic control theory, process modelling, identification, simulation, optimization, and informatics. Moreover, the course focuses on technical measurements and control, including microcomputer, information and diagnostic systems, computer networks and computer-aided automatic control, i.e. CIM-CAD-CAM. After finishing studies, graduates will be able to develop theoretical disciplines and use the latest research findings in the design and control of technological processes.

Duration: 6 or 8 semesters (3 or 4 academic years)
Mode of study: Full-time/part-time
Degree obtained: Doctoral (abbr. “Ph.D.”)
Tuition fee: approx. EUR 1,860 per 1 academic year
