Last modified: 13. March 2025

The purpose of the course is to train technical managers who, through their knowledge and skills in natural sciences, technology and IT, management and organization, as well as languages, are able to manage complex technical and economic tasks, i. e. to participate in the technical and economic planning and development of the technological process, to manage the implementation and to count and evaluate the results and make the related decisions. Graduates of the program acquire competencies that make them suitable for top management tasks in companies of different types, sizes and activities - even in jobs that require knowledge of a foreign language.
