Intelligence, collaboration and innovation for a better future
About
Why a School of Intelligent Systems?
In an era of digital transformation and accelerating technological change, intelligent systems have become a cornerstone of scientific, industrial and economic development. The convergence of artificial intelligence, micro and nanotechnology, the Internet of Things, mechatronics and robotics, big-data analytics and cyber-physical systems calls for genuinely interdisciplinary teaching and research.
The School of Intelligent Systems was founded as a strategic response to emerging labour-market needs, to strengthen national technological capability and to educate problem-driven specialists. Traditional departmental structures alone cannot cover these tightly interconnected fields.
The School brings together electrical, computer and mechanical engineering with data science, creating a home for applied research, complex industrial problem solving and new technology. It operates within the College of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology at the University of Tehran.
Departments
Three departments, one shared mission
The School admits students to 11 master's and 3 doctoral programs across three specialised departments.
