Field of study: INFORMATICSINSTITUTE OF INFORMATICS

CAREER OF AN ENGINEERAn informatics engineer is a valuable specialist not only in IT businesses but also in various industry branches, design studios, companies creating in-telligent systems and other companies which ap-ply in their activity IT technologies. A graduate may choose to run their own business offering IT services.

Taking a course in informatics allows one to under-stand the operation of modern computer systems, operational computer networks, databases and software engineering. A graduate of engineering studies possesses knowledge and technical skills used to operate IT equipment. A graduate is able to develop software drawing on a wide range of IT tools. Another skill gained is the ability to design, program and use information systems and computer networks in in-dustrial, business and administrative tasks. A grad-uate’s solid preparation in IT fundamentals makes it possible to widely expand specialist knowledge in fast-changing IT environment. The expertise obtained at this stage lets a graduate continue studying at the Master’s level.A graduate of this type of studies is prepared to solve IT problems, adapt quickly to constantly evolving IT reality, plan, execute and verify IT projects.


Students gain reliable technical, economic and managerial education. Graduates of this field of study are prepared to design and supervise pro-duction, operation and logistics processes. They are able to supervise objects and management sys-tems and to participate in technical and organiza-tional counselling process in a given scope of pro-duction engineering. Within the specialization graduates are prepared to professionally perform the functions of quality engi-neer and ergonomics engineer. Apart from general technical, economic and managerial knowledge, students gain much coveted qualifications to create and supervise quality control systems of products and workplace organization. Graduates learn how to think in a systemic and creative way. They acquire the features of the 21st century engineer: ability to think routinely in an anthropocentric way while de-signing technical products and organizing team work. This type of knowledge is imparted to students in the form of lectures and consolidated during tutori-als, project work and hands-on experiments carried
