Joint International Master in Smart Systems Integrated Solutions

Abstract

The Joint International Master in Smart Systems Integrated Solutions (SSIs) will graduate candidates for the ever-growing industry of Smart Systems, ubiquitous in all sectors of society including healthcare, transport, environment protection, energy and security. SSIs is given jointly by three universities in three European countries: Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland), University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), and Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) (Hungary), utilizing the complementary expertise and laboratory facilities of the three partners to create a unique programme with a more holistic approach than a single university could give. The programme collaborates closely with industry, and has EPoSS as Associated Partner, assuring its relevance. SSIs builds on the Joint International Master in Smart Systems Integration (SSI), which has been running since 2013 with Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, Scotland) co-ordinating a consortium with USN and BME. SSIs students benefit from the combined expertise of the consortium, as well as from the extended socio-cultural knowledge obtained by living in three different European countries that represent distinctively different aspects of the diverse Europe. The students in the programme show excellent performance, and the employability of graduates has proven to be very high.
