Intelligent Systems

Offered jointly by the Technical University of Crete and the Hellenic Army Academy, combining academic research with applied technological education.

It is aimed at young scientists and researchers, as well as executives of the Armed Forces, civil protection, the Coast Guard, the Fire Department, businesses and organizations — who wish to develop in the most dynamic areas of modern engineering and IT. With a duration of three semesters and a total of 90 ECTS, it leads to the award of a Postgraduate Diploma with an indication of the specialization.

Specializations

In the second semester, students choose a specialization direction:

Unmanned Systems - Emphasis on robotic and autonomous vehicles — air, land or sea. Courses cover robotic systems, UxV technology, sensors and actuators, UAV swarm communications, dynamic systems, the Internet of Things, and multi-agent systems.

Intelligent Information Systems - Emphasis on data analysis, decision making, and digital governance. Courses include business intelligence, big data analytics, intelligent decision support systems, the Internet of Things, intelligent databases, and e-services.

In both tracks, the core of the program includes courses in Systems Theory, Computational Intelligence & Intelligent Control, and Machine Learning — providing a strong theoretical foundation for all students.

To earn a Master of Science in “Intelligent Systems”, students must successfully complete eight (8) courses and write a master's thesis.
