Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The objective of the Cyber Systems and Security study programme – to train the graduates that acquire professional higher education in the field of informatics engineering. They are competitive on the labour market and acquire professional competencies to design, install and administer cyber systems (further referred to as CS), to maintain hardware and software of the systems, to administer services and serve the users in order to ensure the quality of the services, to plan, coordinate, and implement information security measures, to supervise a group of persons during the implementation of the activities related to design, installation and operation of cyber security technology, and to assess engineering solutions with respect to ethic, legal, social, economic, and safety aspects. Graduates are able to apply professional knowledge for solving engineering tasks and problems, and to work individually and in a team or in a multicultural environment.
The aim of the specialization „ Cyber physical Systems“ is to train the person competent to perform the work as an administrator of systems, capable of organizing and executing smooth, continuous and secure work of computer network physical systems (further cyber-physical systems) and internet of things (further IoT), application servers and databases.
The aim of the specialization „Cyber Security“ is to train the person competent to perform the work as an administrator of systems and specialist of cyber-security, capable of installing, developing, maintaining the cyber security technologies of information systems and computer networks.

Activities of teaching and learning:
Interactive theory lectures – explanation during lectures along with analysis of practical examples, demonstration of method application, discussion, seminar, group-work, problem-based learning, and case analysis. Practices in computer classrooms, laboratory and practical works, solving of practical tasks, interactive solving of tasks, analysis of drawings, laboratory works in a virtual laboratory, report of laboratory and practical work, practical test tasks, application of knowledge about the limits of laboratory equipment application. Execution of project – consultation, self-study, work report, presentation and defence. Self-study – report, presentation, demonstration, self-check tests, self-study of scientific literature.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Students’ subject learning outcomes are assessed using criteria ten-point assessment scheme. Assessment procedure, assessment system and assessment criteria are based on the principles of consistency, reliability, clarity, usefulness and impartiality. For the assessment of student’s study subject achievement, accumulative (learning outcomes are assessed by means of intermediate knowledge assessments) or collegial (in case of graduation paper, students are examined by a competent commission consisting of scientists, professional trainees, and representatives of social partners) assessment is used.
