Informatika v sodobni družbi

The second cycle study programme Informatics in contemporary society is a proven study programme that is well integrated into the relevant economic environment, as the Faculty works well with relevant stakeholders in the field. As an educational product, it is well known among employers, but it is still not well differentiated from the other educational programmes offered by the faculty, which should be addressed in the future. The Faculty is becoming an increasingly robust and well-established educational institution, and as it develops, this brings with it the need to build a programmatic identity and its external visibility, as well as the need to monitor competition (institutions and programmes) nationally and internationally. In addition to offering research opportunities and a variety of experiences in direct contact with future employers, the institution is very sensitive to the needs of students, keeping them well informed and also strongly supporting them with all the high-quality facilities and equipment available for organised and individual forms of study. The Faculty also ensures that students are kept in touch with current developments in the field through their participation in the annual ITIS conference organised by the Faculty. However, adapting to the needs of students has led to the introduction of the so- called 'hybrid' mode of study, which needs further formalisation and concretisation, including appropriate adjustments to the curricula, etc. At the same time, the desire to use human and financial resources efficiently has led to sub-optimal grouping of full-time and part-time students, which in turn reduces the degree of student-centred and needs- oriented study. A quality study programme also needs an optimally completed feedback loop, on the basis of which study programmes are updated and modified, notably in the light of self-evaluation data. In this segment, the programme under assessment is not yet at an adequate level.
