The Schools of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Rural and Surveying Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, are organizing and offering, from the academic year 2024-2025, an English-taught Interdepartmental Master’s Program titled “Aerial Autonomous Systems”, in accordance with the provisions of its founding decision and the
provisions of Law 4957/2022.
The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering is the host School.
The Interdepartmental Master’s Program focuses on understanding the fundamental concepts, principles, and technologies, as well as deepening knowledge in advanced methods of analysis, design, optimization, and control of aerial autonomous systems (unmanned vehicles). It combines various fields of engineering sciences, placing particular emphasis on their application in innovative, wide-ranging domains, including, among others, agricultural and surveying observations, forest area monitoring, natural disaster prevention and response, civil protection, and cargo transportation.
Its goal is to equip students with the advanced interdisciplinary skills required for the design, performance, optimization, operational utilization, and assessment of the technical and economic viability of unmanned vehicle systems. In this context, students will acquire specialized knowledge governing modern autonomous systems in areas characterized by interdisciplinarity, further expanding the scope of the Interdepartmental Master’s Program.
The Interdepartmental Master’s Program awards a Master’s Degree (M.Sc.) titled “Aerial Autonomous Systems.” The program does not have specializations. The minimum duration for the completion of the Master’s Degree is three (3) semesters, with the final semester dedicated to the preparation and writing of the master’s thesis.
