Education
We offer students and faculty an innovation-oriented environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in a cosmopolitan setting. And because we believe in learning by doing, our degree programs place a heavy emphasis on lab sessions and hands-on workshops with direct research applications.
We strive to give students solid technical skills combined with a sound basis in computational thinking. But that’s not all – we also encourage them to develop their imagination, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit through cross-disciplinary projects.
