Introduction


FIIT STU covers the area of informatics and
information technologies (IIT) in both research and
education.
STU has long-term experiences in the area of IIT and
has achieved several substantial results in this area.
A base for the FIIT formation was the place of work
which guaranteed education and research in IIT at
the Slovak University of Technology till origination of
the Faculty of Informatics and Information
Technologies.
Courses





Courses are available on full-time and part time basis.
One semester normally lasts 14 weeks and includes between 22
and 26 contact hours per week.
The last semester is devoted to the independent work on a final
project, done either at the faculty or at a real workplace
environment
The learning activities cover traditional lectures, laboratory work,
and seminars.
Assessment methods vary from course to course and they
consist of assignments, case studies, and examinations.

Acredited programmes:
 Informatics
 Computer Systems and Networks
The Bachelor degree study programme as the study
programme of the first level is aimed at acquisition of the
theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge based on
the current state of science and art, and at mastering their
use in execution of a profession or in the follow-up higher
education study. The graduates of the Bachelor degree
study programme receive higher education of the first level.
The Bachelors degree study programme is acredited also by
an international professional organization IET in London.
Timetable and credit system
• A school year consists of 2 semesters
• Student has to obtain 60 credits for a year, 30 for a semester
• Each subject is usually assigned the number of credits a
student receives after its completion. Number of credits
assigned to the subject reflects the proportion of the
student's work needed to successfully pass the subject
• Subjects are divided into three groups:
– mandatory: the core curriculum
– optional: extension of the core curriculum
– selection: complete the profile of a graduate student
7
A final bachelor work
• Bachelor courses include a final bachelor work
on 3rd nominal year in the form of two courses:
– Bachelor Project I: A written report in the range of
minimum 10 pages
– Bachelor Project II: essay in the range of
minimum 20 pages (excluding annexes), as
assessed by the project leader and an opponent,
defending the state exam.
8
Terms and conditions of the study plans creation
To enroll for a new school year, students have to assign subjects that way,
that they receive at least 15 credits for semester and at least 40 credits
total for the academic year. The total enrolled credits for the academic
year shall not exceed 90 credits.
Student himself is responsible the study plans creation to meet proper
conditions.
A student can enroll in additional courses if he gain at least 15 credits for
semester and at least 40 credits for the academic year.
The number of the credits includes credits earned for completion of subjects,
which student has enrolled as repeated.
Permitted length of study shall not exceed the standard length (3 years) by
more than two years, including the state examinations. The time shall not
include allowed interruption of the study.
9
Terms and conditions of completion of courses
Each subject can be completed by one of the following options:
• Assignment
• Graded assignment
• Assignment and examination
• Examination
• State examination
The overall assessment is an integral evaluation, which includes:
• preliminary assessment (evaluates the student's knowledge, the overall
study effort, and the independent student's work)
• final assessment (evaluates the level of passing the final test or defense
of the project)
