Program Objectives
The master's program
aims to provide a knowledge in the essential components of modern IT
technologies (databases, networks and communication systems, web-systems, information
security) and develop research skills in this field along with other skills in
various fields of human activity.
Effective use of information technologies for every human activity is an
important condition for success in the field. Thus the Master of Science
should possess the theoretical knowledge along with practical and research skills in areas that represent
the main pillars of information technology, such as:• Databases;
• Computer networks and communications;
• Web-oriented programming;
• Information security and protection.
Information technologies can be considered as one of the most demanded
fields. The Master's Program is based on the Curriculum Guidelines for
Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Technology, developed by
• The Association for Computer Machinery (ACM, http://www.acn.org),
• The Association for Information Systems (AIS),
• The Computer Society (IEEE-CS, http://computer.org).
