It is important for the business service sector to appear at the university and find its place in the training structure. This is what we strive for, as this way the students can also get closer to the field and get to know the companies that are recognized at the domestic and international level and that need skilled labor

We designed the professional modules in such a way that they fit into the profile of the university education and, on the other hand, cover the needs of the market. Among other things, it will be about project and IT service management, operational management processes, the operation and structure of the business service centers of member companies, application operation, as well as the use of artificial intelligence, server- and platform-based technologies, support activities, and the university students will also be able to learn about the technologies of the future. The interest is very high, 140 people applied for the training, ninety of them foreign students

Students can get to know the connections and practical application possibilities of the subjects taught at the faculty in more detail
