Science and Study Divisions: Applied Informatics Department, Mathematics and Statistics Department, Systems' Analysis Department, Statistic Research Centre, Multimedia Laboratory.
Studies in English: The faculty offers more than 30 Bachelor and Master level non-degree semester long courses in English and German languages. More information on the courses offered can be found on the website of VMU International Office.
Why Study Here?The studies are universally oriented and as such do not limit themselves to computers and calculations only. Sciences which have common ties with informatics are also given attention and thus widen the scope of the education. The graduates of the faculty will be able to apply modern tools of informatics and mathematics creatively in their professional practices. Studies at graduate and postgraduate levels here are catered to the demands of the information society. The acquired skills will be useful in working on issues as diverse as virtual reality, business management models, analysis of linguistic texts, modern network usage and thought process imitation.
International Relations: Faculty students broaden their knowledge by applying for LLP/Erasmus exchange programme. This is an opportunity to see the international perspective on the field during one or two semesters spent in a university in Germany, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria and other countries.
Experience and Research: For many faculty graduates, it is the flexible nature of the studies that makes them compelling and useful. Subjects are handled without particular restrictions on their boundaries, constantly adapting to the changes in the science. This proves invaluable to former students of the faculty, now working as programmers, system administrators, researchers, analysts, project managers, company CEOs and at other positions.
Students, teachers and researchers of the Faculty of Informatics work together on scientific projects funded by national and EU funds. The results of the research become a part of EU information society development projects. The topics include artificial intelligence, digital management, signal analysis, neural networks, application of information and mobile technologies in business information systems, robotics, multimedia and many others.
The facilities of the faculty use modern equipment controlled by computers. Seminars are given not only by university teachers or students, but by visiting professors and business representatives as well. Studies at the faculty successfully combine theoretical framework with topical examples of their application. To accomplish this, close relations are established with innovative research institutes, companies of information technologies, telecommunications and other fields. Graduates may join the faculty’s Alumni club and remain active members of the academic community, introduce the potential positions for working at their companies, share their experience, provide the students with opportunities for internship and topics for their course papers and theses.
