4 ECTS Blended Intensive Programme (online learning + on-site workshop in Istanbul)

The Robotic Rehabilitation and Brain-Computer Interface Applications Blended Intensive Programme offers students a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge developments at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and digital health.

This interdisciplinary course combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, bringing participants closer to real-world applications in neurotechnology and rehabilitation.

 

Objectives

The programme is designed around three main objectives:

  • To introduce key concepts in musculoskeletal biomechanics and pathologies affecting human motion, mobile robotics and navigation, medical soft robotics and exoskeletons, wireless sensors, and brain-computer interfaces
  • To support the development of entrepreneurial thinking, while encouraging ethical, responsible, and purpose-driven innovation
  • To provide hands-on experience in a professional research environment, where students will work on practical solutions to real-life challenges alongside experts from the R&D sector

 

Programme structure

The course follows a blended learning format, combining virtual preparation with an intensive on-site experience.

Virtual component: 24 - 28 August 2026

  • 9 online lectures (150 minutes each)
  • Pre-recorded lessons and reading materials for self-study

Physical component (on-site in Istanbul): 31 August - 4 September 2026 

  • Duration: 5 days
  • Face-to-face classes and applied workshops
  • Panel discussions with professionals
  • Team-based work on practical challenges

 

Teaching methods
