This gives them a unique opportunity to gain practical experience of solving real problems in the field of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems. Thus, students directly participate in the innovative developments in their field of study, frequently presenting their results and findings at the research seminars of Master’s program, scientific seminars and conferences, held by HSE.

·         Science and innovations. Students gain new skills while making projects, participating in scientific research and innovative developments in the field of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems in collaboration with Russian and foreign companies (Infowatch, National Instruments, Rightech, IBM, PTC). This is the key to the world-class training with the guarantee of successful employment. Additionally, all graduates have an opportunity to continue scientific research in HSE even after the graduation.

·         Professional certification. During the Master’s program students achieve necessary skills and competences to be able to pass the certification of such companies as Infowatch, National Instruments, IBM, PTC and etc. in the field of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical system.

·         State-of-the-art campus. In MIEM HSE there are more then 30 cutting-edge educational and scientific laboratories, including telecommunication technologies, industrial Internet and cyber-physical systems, 3D-vizualization and prototyping, Internet services and technologies, telecommunication network systems and robotics laboratories.

What am I going to learn?

Master’s program “Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems” can be divided into three major blocks:

Engineering in the field of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical system. This block focuses on studying the principles of functioning and methods of creation of self-contained devices, cyber-physical systems and general communication infrastructure within the concept of the Internet of Things. The courses in this block concentrate on network technologies, embedded and sensor systems development, distributed and cloud computing, virtualization technologies, software-defined systems and networks, design of cyberphysical systems on a crystal.

Data analysis and application software in the Internet of things and cyberphysical systems. This block focuses on studying the ways, methods and algorithms of collecting, processing and visualizing Big Data (including analog Big Data). The courses concentrate on web application development, services and systems of visualization development, mobile applications and systems of augmented reality development in the field of the Internet of Things. Additionally, methods and algorithms of machine learning are introduced for further application in the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems field.

Cyber security in the Internet of things. The aim of this block is for students to study and get acquainted with the major ways of ensuring the safety of the Internet of Things on the network level: network security threats, mechanisms of network attacks counteraction, software and hardware for network security. The courses of this block also include studying network safety cryptographic protocols used in the field of the Internet of things, mastering the aspects of protected network applications building and the features of embedded systems securit. 

Where will I work and what will my profession be?

Each year more and more elements of the Internet of things technology are introduced into industrial and economical areas. Due to this rapid development, there is a critical need for qualified specialists with complex and high-level training, who will be able to take responsibility for development and maintenance of the corporate and industrial infrastructure, functioning within the concept of the Internet of Things.

The graduates of the Master’s program will be able to get jobs as:

·         development engineers in the field of the Internet of Things (experts in the field of the advanced network technologies, cloud and distributed calculations, embedded systems, software-defined radio systems and networks);

·         data analysis specialists in the field of the Internet of Things (collecting, processing and analysis of Big Data, machine learning);

·         developers of application software for the Internet of Things;

·         специалистов ко кибербезопасности в Интернете вещей;

·         researchers (developers of new methods of solving problems in the field of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems).

Skills and knowledge received during the program make our graduates even more valuable for the new divisions in the leading companies, introducing the Internet of things technologies: 

·         in the large companies and IT integrators (Infowatch, National Instruments, Rightech, IBM, PTC, CROC, Verizon, Hitachi Data Systems, SAP, Vodafone, Microsoft, QTS Data Centers, Fujitsu, Intel, Sentaca, Schneider Electric, Super Micro Computer, etc.)

·         in IT divisions of industrial companies (Lukoil, Gazprom, etc.);

·         in IT divisions of state organizations (Russian Technologies, Rostelecom, etc.).

·         in IT divisions of bank organizations (Sberbank, VEB, VTB, etc.)

·         at the research institutes, higher education institutions, expert and analytical centers, engaged in research and development in the field of the Internet of things and cyberphysical systems.
