Profile of a graduate

A graduate of the master degree in the computer science has deep theoretical and methodological knowledge in the key areas in the field, such as, e.g., computability theory, automata and formal languages, logic programming, computational complexity, cryptology. By the use of optional courses he can specialize in one of the following areas: logic of information systems, theoretical computer science, neural networks, or security of computer networks. He is capable of applying his skills and knowledge creatively in praxis, as well as of analysis and tackling hard problems concerning information processing. He can also evaluate critically known solutions of such problems, he is quick on the uptake social, moral, juridical, and economic problems related to his profession. In the course of his practical training, he will gain experience in the area of the database systems, system programming and operation systems, object-oriented programming, as well as the architecture of information systems. He will also gain capability of making system analysis, taking into account their complexity and efficiency. He will become able to design suitable algorithmic solutions for critical components, to specify, design, implement, and maintain modern software systems, as well as to analyze and modify existing software systems. He can cooperate efficiently in software-developing teams, and keep track of the latest news and development in his area during the lifetime. After graduating his study, he can manage a position of a programmer, analyzer, or possibly a position of a head of a developing team for large informational system applications in the commercial area, as well as in the government administration. He is also able to carry on his study, in the PhD degree, and participate in teaching process at university.
