Open Informatics

The goal of the program Open Informatics is to educate professionals with critical thinking who can participate in the development of complex software applications and IT systems. The emphasis is put on the architecture design and implementation of large technological systems and the management of the development process with the application of appropriate methodologies. The study program deepens and expands the necessary theoretical background and principles related to the focus of the study program. The graduates also gain experience related to the design of complex algorithms, from graph algorithms to methods of artificial intelligence. According to their preferences, students focus on the areas of data analysis and machine learning, user interfaces design, advanced automation, or ensuring data credibility.
