Educational and professional objectives
To acquaint students with the study branch Statis-tics, with its aims, methods and professional possibilities of do well in practise.
Subject focus and brief description
Course can be devided into two groups, the first aimed more theoreticaly and the second more practically, but mostly both these two aspects are connected. In two courses the semester projects devoted to the evaluation of statistical data are planned.
Graduates' profile
The graduate students of second degree study program deeply understand the approaches of statistics. They master selected statistical methods, and are able, by the help of computers and of statistical packages, to proceed individually by collecting statistical data and by their analyses using different statistical methods. They are able to obtain useful information from the data as a base for making decisions. They are able to assist by teaching statistical courses on high schools and universities.
Graduates' competence and job opportunities
The use of graduate students of the study program is given by the wide spectrum of the scientific and social areas where statistics is used. Graduate students of this study branch can be used in different natural, economical, technical and sociological spheres, in finance, ensurance companies, banks, but also in Civil Services, bussiness and administration. They can find jobs also in pharmacology and medicine.
Specific features of the programme
The courses will be mostly evaluated ongoing by tests and final evaluations will be by examinations.
