Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare highly qualified and creatively thinking Masters of Informatics, who will be able to conduct scientific research, to apply their results to the analysis and development of IT management process, will know the methodologies of IT management, will be able to create and improve software in order to manage the processes of an enterprise’s activity by making qualitative decisions.

Generic competencies developed:
Ability to critically assess his/her own and other team members’ activity results and professional experience, take up responsibility for the quality of his/her own and subordinate employees’ activity and its assessment; ability to systematically and strategically think, to work creatively in scientific research and IT projects, to communicate at national and international level, by using the knowledge of scientific research; ability to take innovative decisions, by evaluating possible public, ethical and legal consequences of activity.
Subject specific competencies developed:
Ability to analyse, synthesize and assess the results of scientific research, by implementing the quality of solutions of IT management processes; ability to apply the methodologies of scientific research, modern technologies of projecting and modelling to the evaluation and development of processes of an enterprise’s activity; ability to analyse the processes of IT management, to evaluate their alternative models, to apply the methodologies of IT management to the creation and management of an enterprise’s infrastructure; ability to implement innovative IT service management technology for creation and development of the software to meet the needs of business processes, to evaluate risk factors and to provide appropriate solutions.
Learning outcomes:
The aim of Information Technology Management study programme, leading to Master's degree in Informatics Sciences is to prepare a specialist highly qualified and creatively thinking Masters of Informatics, who will be able to conduct scientific research, to apply their results to the analysis and development of IT management process, will know the methodologies of IT management, will be able to create and improve software in order to manage the processes of an enterprise’s activity by making qualitative decisions.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Depending on the specificity of study subject, interactive lesson is delivered, the analysis of scientific literature, case and research article analysis, problem-based teaching, laboratory works, as well as individual and group projects are conducted, simulation of real life situations, group work, and final thesis project. The timetable is designed so, that theoretical classes would be changed by practical classes and vice versa.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The assessment criteria of students’ achievements are related to both separate learning outcomes and the outcomes of entire study programme. Ten-grade criteria scale and accumulative assessment are applied to evaluate the knowledge and abilities acquired by students. Such evaluation allows to evaluate thoroughly students’ achievements: both theoretical and analytical abilities. Learning outcomes are assessed during semester (mid-term tests are conducted; laboratory works, individual and group projects, problem-based tasks, case analysis are performed in written form then they are defended orally; the analysis of research articles) and during the final examination. The examinations are conducted in written, oral forms, as well as in the form of test. During examinations, students’ knowledge is assessed from 1 point (very poor) to 10 points (excellent). Assessment from 1 point to 4 points is unsatisfactory. Aiming at not lower than average level of achievement (7 – 8 points) in a subject, students are provided with possibility to improve their research work in accordance with remarks provided by a teacher, peer students, as well as the remarks and suggestions provided during the defence, also to improve the quality of performance of other tasks while studying individually supplementary resources, consulting with teachers and accounting for the tasks during the appointed time.
