Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies are organized by using the following forms of study: lectures, practicals, individual and group consultations. They focus on supporting students' active learning. To train professional and transferable skills, the programme applies holistic teaching and learning strategies, such as peer-to-peer and collaborative learning, research-based learning. They are implemented by applying methods that educate students' critical, creative and constructive thinking: document, case analysis, individual and group reflection, etc. The application of these strategies and methods expands students' ability to get to know the world of work and their future professional field, to communicate with entrepreneurs and other professionals to transfer information, discuss the issues regarding ideas, problem-solving or decision-making.
Methods of assessment of learning
achievements:
The cumulative assessment system is used, except for the final thesis. The assessment of the learning outcomes involves the following: written examination, report (of practical work), written paper (a course paper, overview), presentation, colloquium.
