Interview with student of Faculty of Science, UPJS

Data Analysis and Artificial intelligence – Bachelor level curriculum

1st year of study

• Introduction to data analysis – from the very beginning of the study the student gets an idea of ​​what and why he will study and how it can be used
• Algebra – mathematics distinguishes our graduates from users of various analytical tools (we show that you can learn interestingly and with applications)
• Mathematical software – many things can not be counted without a computer, but software also needs to be chosen and used
• Introduction to Computer Science – if someone has missed something in high school, they have a chance
• Operating system user environments – using a computer is a prerequisite for working with data
• Database systems – data must be stored somewhere and manipulated effectively
• Programming, algorithms, complexity – data needs to be processed and prepared, and a “back door” is also required if a graduate wants to change profiling in the future
• Professional English for Science – Data analysis and artificial intelligence cannot be done without a foreign language

2nd year of study

• Real Variable Functions, Linear and Integer Optimization, Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science, Real Variable Functions
• Probability Theory – Many things around us are not deterministic
  Introduction to machine learning – machine learning today “moves the world” and needs to be known
• Introduction to Information Security – Data should be handled with care
  Automata and formal languages ​​- programming languages ​​are changing, but the principles remain
• Programming in Python for Advanced – We keep up with the times and current trends
  Project – practical experience from processing life cycle is priceless

3rd year of study

• Mathematical statistics – nor classical methods of data analysis “did not say the last word”
  Project – practical experience is never enough
• Numerical methods – not everything can be calculated accurately, but real life expects a solution
  Functional programming, Competitive programming – you have to look at every problem from several sides
• Introduction to Neural Networks
• Big Data Processing Technologies – Anyone talks about big data, but our graduates also have experience from large corporations (Google, Facebook, T-Systems,…) and are willing to teach our students
• Selected applications of data analysis – data and artificial intelligence have applications in astronomy, nuclear physics, bioinformatics, geographic information systems,… – we have the experts

Data analysis and artificial intelligence – Master level

1st year of study

• Combinatorial algorithms, Random processes, Multivariate statistical methods – the world needs to be modeled and properly understood
• Seminar on Data Management – we will look at real practical problems in cooperation with partners
• Computational Complexity, Organizing and Processing Data, Parallel and Distributed Systems – Even today’s computing capacity is not enough for all types of problems, and then “human reason must come”
• Machine Learning – Autonomous and expert systems cannot be imagined without machine learning today

2nd year of study

• Neural networks – deep neural networks celebrate one success after another and every data analyst must control them
• Classical and quantum calculations – quantum computers are no longer a utopian dream and our graduates walk with the times
• Approximation and probabilistic algorithms – tools to solve various problems is never enough
  Seminar on Data Management – we will look at real practical problems in cooperation with partners
• … And moreover, we have an offer of other subjects from different fields of science (not only at our faculty), through which the student can create an individual profile.https://studijne-programy.upjs.sk/en/programme/ADUIm
