During his studies he will learn:

• formulate hypotheses, design experiments, verify their results and analyze the obtained data,

• critically apply knowledge from applied mathematics, the architecture of fixed and mobile networks, the design of parallel computing in the environment cloud computingu or big data processing,

• create web interfaces and applications for social networks or computer games,

• choose and effectively use the most appropriate methods and technologies of artificial and computational intelligence.

The graduate will be ready to carry out research and development in the field of networking of heterogeneous systems, including parallel computing and corporate web interfaces. He can find his own solutions to problems and creatively implement new approaches in various application areas.
