Admission

About the Programme

Are you one of those people who are not satisfied with simply using technology, but want to understand how it works, and even better, create new technologies that work even smarter? Then Informatics Systems study programme is designed just for you. The aim of the programme is to prepare IT professionals capable of performing analysis of real-world problems, designing and implementing IT solutions to solve the identified problems, and understanding the reciprocal interactions between IT, society, and business. In your first year, you will explore programming, algorithm analysis, databases, and other core foundations of computer science. From the third year of your studies, once you have built a solid technological base, you will choose one of three specialisations: Artificial Intelligence Systems, Business Informatics, and Software Systems. Throughout your studies, you will not only learn but also act: participate in real-world projects, complete internships at leading IT companies, and gain hands-on experience that the market – and the world – will be eager to embrace.

Specialisations

Artificial Intelligence Systems

Can a refrigerator order food by itself? Is it possible to identify a target person within a vast amount of video footage? Is it possible to write a news article without a journalist or resolve a simple case without a judge? And what about calculating insurance claims without an assessor? With a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence, you will explore the universe of unlimited possibilities offered by artificial intelligence and learn to apply data and system analysis, machine learning, and deep learning methods, and apply them in various fields such as image analysis in security systems, automated text creation, finance and insurance technologies, and solving planning and optimization tasks.

Business Informatics

In the Business Informatics specialisation, through learning and developing innovative IT solutions for businesses, you will enhance the internal processes of companies, assist in planning and implementing them, and gain a deep understanding of consumer behaviour in cyberspace. In these studies, you will also delve into the digitalisation of business, the development of enterprise information systems, and business process modelling. In addition to information technology subjects, you will learn the fundamentals of business management and corporate finance management, which will help you navigate the waters of business.

Software Systems

In the Software Systems specialisation, you will become an innovative IT developer and software systems guru: you will develop, design, and test mobile applications, IoT, cloud computing, and other solutions, as well as apply artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies with unlimited possibilities. These studies will enable you to stay abreast of the latest inventions and keep pace with advancements in information technology science.

Career Opportunities

Forget the outdated stereotype of the IT specialist as a loner, hunched over a computer screen covered in lines of code, snacking on chips during late-night programming sessions. Today’s informatics systems specialists work in teams, develop solutions in collaboration with business representatives, analyze problems, design systems, participate in creative brainstorming sessions, and create products that function in the real world. Graduates of the Informatics Systems study programme work as:

programmers;
software architects;
software developers;
system designers;
project managers;
system administrators;
system analysts;
advertising technology specialists in various organizations, government institutions, and businesses;
founders of their own startups in technology, robotics, or artificial intelligence;
