Informatics

This study programme is recommended to students who intend to get fundamental knowledge in informatics and get acquainted with the general principals of making and using information technology. Besides, the basic orientation in the field students will get enough knowledge and practical training to be able to find employment in the field immediately after graduation. The programme offers some options to aim the profile of the education towards selected basic areas of computer science, such as computer graphics, data processing, information security, networking, artificial intelligence, and computer science.

After successfully completing his/her studies the graduate is able to:

• explain fundaments of computer systems, including operating systems, data storage and computer networks
• design algorithms for solving concrete problems and formulate them in selected programming language
• apply various techniques and methods to analyze, process and store data for the given purpose
• explain fundamental terms, concepts and results of informatics as the science discipline.

Graduates may immediately start working on junior IT positions and will be ready to deepen their knowledge according to the needs of their employer. Graduates are also ready to continue their studies in any master degree programme related to informatics or to opt for some other discipline to get interesting interdisciplinary knowledge.

The practical training in not an obligatory part of the study program.

The goal of Bachelor's thesis is to demonstrate that a student is capable of working on a project of non-trivial size (e.g. to create a useful application, or to formulate and prove advanced mathematical thesis), as well as to demonstrate the capability of presentation and positioning of the results in the context of actual state-of-the-art in the field. Bachelor's thesis is expected to be written in Czech, Slovak or English language. Expected structure of the work includes declaration of the author about the thesis being a school work, declaration of authorship, contents, the proper text, and references. Minimal expected scope of the work is 30 regular pages of the proper text (including illustrations).

Graduates can continue on any master degree offered at the faculty of informatics.
