Graduate profile
DescriptionBusiness informatics at FEI TU in Košice is an informatics-oriented study program that educates IT graduates in accordance with current trends such as data analytics, mobile applications, and data acquisition through smart devices, or User Experience. A graduate of the bachelor's degree program in business informatics will acquire standard IT knowledge in the field of design and development of information systems, programming, mobile applications, database systems, and data analysis, as well as good economic knowledge. The graduate knows the basics of project management, is able to present his ideas simply and efficiently and has a basic overview of the ICT sector and current trends.
Learning objectives
The Business Informatics study program in the bachelor's degree is oriented towards developing cross-sectional knowledge with a focus on application use at a level corresponding to the current state of knowledge. It enables students to plan and organize personal learning and develop personal and professional growth in an appropriate learning trajectory to fulfill the idea of a knowledge society and a knowledge economy. It develops in students the skills necessary to solve practical tasks using the usual research and development procedures, with a critical assessment of their appropriateness and adequacy. As an integral part of the graduate's portfolio, he also develops social and civic competencies, for example, through discussions. The educational goals of this study program integrate not only the strategic goals in the field of education set out in the long-term plan of the Technical University in Košice but also the requirements of employers specified in the National System of Occupations and the National System of Qualifications, the EHEA qualification framework, and the National Classification Framework. The student will be able to: • understand and apply the basic principles of data analytics and relevant mathematical methods applicable to the understanding and processing of small and medium-sized data samples from various sources. • interpret basic digital product development life cycle models and organize knowledge from design, implementation, and testing in individual models. • identify and distinguish the critical aspects of a given problem or opportunity, based on which he will prepare a proposal for his solution in the form of proper technical documentation (creativity). • interpret the basic principles of project-oriented or problem-oriented teaching, with the help of which he formulates a suitable process model for achieving the expected result, either individually or in a team. • express and explain the proposed solution, the procedure used, and the results achieved in the form of a presentation, semester or final work, or report (presentation skills, ability to give and receive feedback). • describe and explain several examples of solving the given problem and their subsequent comparison based on established criteria from the point of view of the desired target state (active acquisition, sorting, and classification of information). • classify and assign the correct economic theories or calculation methods to assigned tasks or semester projects in scheduling, logistics, and optimization. Bachelor's Degree Business Informatics study program: • Creates the conditions for a better adaptation of first-year students immediately after they enter the university from secondary schools through the leading year and the organization of informal meetings to support an open and friendly atmosphere and creative dialogue with students based on the collegial and accommodating approach of educators. • Continually conducts dialogue with employer representatives and responds to needs and topics identified through mutual interaction with companies associated in the Košice IT Valley cluster in the Forum of Shared Services Centers at the American Chamber of Commerce in Slovakia or IT Association of Slovakia. • Develops competencies in students, with the help of which they can coordinate partial activities or take responsibility for the team's results. • Supports and motivates students' involvement in teaching quality assessment processes, the conclusions of which are regularly evaluated and the necessary corrective measures are applied. • In cooperation with the faculty coordinator to work with students with specific needs, he ensures the necessary conditions for integrating students into the teaching process. • It supports the mobility of students in the form of a study stay or internship, in the academic space, or companies.
Main learning outcomes
The profile of a graduate of the Business Informatics study program in the bachelor's degree includes educational outcomes in the form of knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary for continuing studies in the engineering degree in the Business Informatics or Informatics study program. At the same time, this portfolio enables the graduate to apply for suitable occupations, through which he will gain practical experience. • Has developed the skills to learn necessary to continue further studies with a high degree of independence. • Can analyze and solve economic and informational problems and participate in optimizing economic processes, either through designing and implementing a digital product or applying data analytics methods. • Can independently acquire new knowledge and actively expand their knowledge in the design, implementation, testing, and quality of IT products, whether web or mobile apps.
