Full-time study

Full-time study is intended for those who want to prepare for their future successful career in the field of information and communication technology, economics or management. Full-time study is mainly in the form of regular lectures and seminars. Students have the opportunity to use specially prepared high quality learning materials, such as written texts, solved and unsolved examples, new audio / video lectures and self-tests. Those materials are available at any time and from any place by using an internet access. For subjects that are challenging, there are some additional lectures and seminars besides the usual classes, where students have further opportunity to ask their teachers about the topics. The study is also supplemented by intensive workshops during which students solve simulated projects.

Combined study

Combined study is intended for those who want to finish studies while being employed. This form of study provides an effective combination of full-time and distance learning, which in addition to self-study also brings students into a direct contact with teachers.

Combined study process

Combined study consists of self-studying and weekend tutorials that are organised once a month. Self-studying A major part of the combined study is done by individual self-studying. Students have the opportunity to use specially prepared high quality learning materials, such as written texts, solved and unsolved examples, new audio / video lectures and self-tests.

Weekend tutorials

Since academic year 2010/2011, weekend tutorials are going to be organised only once a month. Their purpose is to recapitulate and exercise actually learned topics. Students have the opportunity to ask their teachers about the topics, about the uncertainties they have got during self-studying.

Preparative courses for examinations

For those who want to be well-prepared for their examination, the intensive preparative courses are being organised. The aim is to recapitulate all topics and focus on most common problems. Attenders have the chance to undertake a trial version of their examinations.

Practical workshops

Some subjects are also supplemented by intensive practical workshops during which students solve simulated or sometimes also real projects.

Individual study

Individual study is designed for those who wish or need to supplement a degree in ICT, economics or management but, due to employment, do not have the time to attend regular lessons in the combined forms of study.

Individual study process

Individual study takes place mainly in the form of intensive weekend workshops and ongoing consultations with teachers. At the beginning of the semester there is an introductory workshop where the student will be acquainted with the content of the courses they have to complete during the semester. The teacher will draw attention to key themes and identify the strengths and weaknesses of students in particular topics. After the workshop the teachers prepare a learning plan with the individual student. The plan specifies the actual number and scope of consultations. If necessary, the student can communicate with their teacher by phone, electronically or in person. Students have at their disposal high quality learning materials (such as written texts, solved and unsolved examples, new audio / video lectures and self-tests) which are available at any time and from any place with an Internet connection. Just as at the beginning of the semester, a final workshop is organised at the end of the semester, where the student sums up the knowledge gained during the semester. After completion of this workshop, the student is ready to take their examinations.
