Why choose this specialty?

The goal of the doctoral training for PhD students in the doctoral program "Elements and Devices of Automation and Computing Technology" in the Department "Automation of Continuous Processes" (ACP) of the Faculty "Automation" is aimed at:

a) improving the qualifications of the PhD students;

b) forming them as highly qualified teachers for TUTS;

c) developing them as competent, knowledgeable, and capable scientists, ready to meet the challenges of modern industry and technology.

Achieving the set goal is associated with the implementation of the following tasks:

a) compliance with legal requirements in the training of PhD students;

b) the training and consulting of doctoral students shall be carried out by highly qualified habilitated teachers;

c) continuous improvement and modernization of the material base for studying world standards in the scientific field;

d) application of modern achievements in the field of information and communication technologies for research and development, analysis and processing of information and data;

e) maintaining continuous contact, close interaction, and responding to the growing interest of companies in the field in scientific and applied developments related to the topic of the doctoral program.

Additional motivations for the training of doctoral students in the doctoral program "Elements and devices of automation and computing technology" at the Faculty of Automation of TU-Sofia, there is also the successful development of specializations in "Industrial Control Engineering", "Bioelectroengineering" and others at FA, which are based on modern courses:

● Technical means for automation;

● Biosensor systems and analyzers;

● Biotechnological measurements;

● Technological practicum;

● Logical process control;

● Industrial automation systems;

● Programming of logical controllers
