Information Technology

The aim of the Bachelor Study Program Information Technology is to prepare alumni who are able to use both hardware and software systems at a high professional level. They are able to act as designers, programmers and servicemen of computer systems, digital systems, computer networks, computer-based systems and programmers and administrators of database systems and information systems. The study program is open for teachers of higher schools who aim to complete their knowledge in the branch of information technology for the purposes of teaching.

Complete higher secondary education being proved by the General Certificate of Secondary Education. All applicants to the BSc studies are expected to pass an entrance examination in mathematics at a level corresponding to standard secondary (high) schools specialized in the sciences.
Information for international students: Those applicants, who fail to prove sufficient capabilities to enter the Bachelor Study Program, will be offered a one-year bridging study. The passing of the final examination of the bridging study is sufficient to enter the Bachelor Study Program.

Students will understand all the layers of the computer based systems including hardware (semiconductor components, logic networks, processors, peripheral devices), software (control and data structures, object orientation, programming languages, compilers, operating systems, databases), as well as their common applications (information systems, computer networks, artificial intelligence, computer graphics and multimedia). They will understand foundations of computer science (discrete mathematics, formal languages and their models, spectral analysis of signals, modelling and simulation). Graduates will be able to analyse, design, implement, test, and maintain common computer applications. They will be able to work efficiently in teams.

Specialised industrial practice is not required.

Study evaluation is based on marks obtained for specified items of the appropriate course, as home works, projects, oral presentations, tests, midterm exams, final exam, etc. The maximum number of marks is 100. The final study report consists of records of the overall marks and a classifying symbol from the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) (A; B; C; D; E; F). The General Grade Average is calculated from classification grades A=1, B=1.5, C=2, D=2.5, and E=3. Student evaluation is based on the credit system compatible with ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). The final examination of each course can be written, oral, or combined.

Graduates can continue their studies within the master study programme Information technology at FIT BUT or within related study programmes at other universities.
