First cycle university study programme Computer and information science provides future engineers with a sufficient professional basis to be able to keep abreast of technological changes and successfully continue their career at home as well as on an international level. It prepares students for responsible individual professional work in all areas that demand well-educated computer professionals.
The study programme consists of core courses that are the same for all students in the first year of the study. From the second year, the programme allows choosing elective courses based on different interests, motivations and professional specializations. In the second year the students can choose among three possible elective courses, and in the third year students choose one from five different four-course modules that consist of thematic specializations:
· Informatics
· Software
· Computer Systems and Networks
· Artificial Intelligence
· Media Technologies
The program also allows choosing of softer-knowledge general elective courses. It concludes with submitting a diploma thesis, and it provides a solid base for continuing study on the master level.
The professional bachelor study programme Computer and information science is aimed principally at those with an interest in learning to solve practical problems in computer and information science.
The programme is comparable to international standards, taking into account the rapid development of computer science and new knowledge. In addition to providing fundamental knowledge of subjects necessary for future engineers, the study programmes enable students to tailor their studies according to their own wishes, motivations and strengths, always taking into account the various possibilities of professional specialisation. This is helped by the compulsory nine-week work assignment, which acquaints students with the needs of the commercial and public sectors and enables them once they become employed to be productively involved in the work of their selected company.
The study programme accordingly provides future engineers with a sufficient professional basis, once they have completed this professional course of study, to be able to keep abreast of technical changes and continue their careers successfully at home as well as at an international level.
The academic bachelor study programme Financial mathematics is accredited to create experts capable of solving hard mathematical problems arising in the banking and insurance sector, in trading activities of stock exchanges and brokerage firms, and in management of pension and health funds.
Graduates of this study program also acquire enough theoretical knowledge to be able to proceed to the master study programme Financial mathematics. Graduates should possess basic knowledge of mathematics, economics and finance, as well as informatics, and should be able to solve non-deterministic problems with the help of probability theory and statistics, solve deterministic problems with the help of optimisation methods and operations research, compute approximate solutions with the help of numerical methods, and use computers to solve problems and present results.
Graduates of the academic bachelor study programme Financial Mathematics can find employment in banks and insurance companies, stock exchanges and brokerage firms, pension and health benefits companies, both the public sector and agencies as well as in the private sector, for example the logistic sector (optimisation).
The academic bachelor study programme Mathematics is designed to qualify students for solving hard mathematical problems arising in industry, in the public sector and in sciences.
At the same time, graduates of the programme are equipped with the core knowledge necessary for studies in the second cycle.
Mathematics is the link between natural sciences, engineering, social sciences and computer sciences. Therefore, any graduate of Mathematics should be able to model a practical problem mathematically, qualitatively analyse the obtained mathematical problems, conceive algorithms to solve them, implement those algorithms using appropriate programming tools, analyse and present the results.
Graduates are eligible for employment in the technology and logistic sector of the economy, banks and insurance companies, research and planning institutions, technology parks and the public sector.
The main goal of the bachelor study program Physics is to educate an expert capable of solving problems occurring in investigations of natural phenomena in a broad sense, and in the narrower sense in the study of properties and structure of matter as well as physical properties of materials. Becoming acquainted with modern technologies and information systems is the key ingredient.
The orientation in astronomy offers experience in a variety of problems encountered in studies of physical phenomena in space.
The orientation in physics education is intended for students who wish to obtain a solid knowledge of fundamental physics and acquire the skill of communicating scientific results to a general audience.
The orientation in meteorology is designed to equip students with capablility of solving problems in basic physics of atmospheric phenomena and to understand the fundamentals of their mathematical description in weather and climate models as well as geophysics and interdisciplinary areas.
The aim of the program Applied Physics is education of qualified specialists who are able to use the acquired physical and technical knowledge in the working process of technological, measurement, diagnostic and computer-modelling sector of the economy and elsewhere.
The program is practically oriented and intended for training of specialists in research and industrial laboratories as well as in other institutions that rely on high-tech equipment.
The professional bachelor study programme Practical mathematics is designed to train and educate professionals capable of application of their mathematical knowledge in the working process in communications and information technology, technology, logistics, and elsewhere.
Graduates of the professional study programme can find employment in the information technology sector of the economy (computer programmers, IT developers, system administrators, and customer support employees), the technology and logistic sector, statistical companies at survey planning and statistical data analysis, financial institutions at information technology and mathematical support, the public sector, and elsewhere.
Graduates of the undergraduate academic bachelor study programme Geology obtain fundamental knowledge from all fields of geology. They also get a solid base in elementary natural sciences and mathematics. Students obtain basic knowledge from scientific areas related to geology and required for practical geological work and interaction with related areas of expertise.
With select elective subjects students further extend their knowledge in the areas of interest, targeting specific narrower topics in geology. During the study, students will get familiar with traditional principles, and upgrade them with the latest discoveries; all this in a modern educational environment and using modern technology.
Special attention is paid to practical training, especially field work. By working in groups, undertaking project work and solving problems, students will learn to work in teams, give public talks and manage the projects. Students will test thetheoretical knowledge by exercises concerning real-life scenarios; this will facilitate thetransition to the practical work after the finished studies.
At the same time, students will learn a sufficient amount of engineering contents, which enable development of abstract thinking, and to successfully continue their studies in different second-level programs.
