About SET Global

SET University is a non-profit educational institution whose core mission is to promote innovation and make high-quality technology education more accessible.

In addition to master’s degrees and short-term programs, we actively develop grant initiatives and international partnerships. All of this serves our main goal: to raise technical literacy to a new level, from school to professional careers, and to strengthen critical areas of public life through technology-driven solutions.

As a result, our students, researchers working at the intersection of technology and science, and promising startups gain access to global development opportunities.
