Key learning outcomes
- Employing his or her accumulated intellectual resources, a graduate can design and program information and automation systems, exercising his or her erudition regarding algorithms and methods of software engineering.
- Proves his or her ability of independent theory, procedure and tool application when building systems of automated control used to command technological and manufacturing processes.
- Based on their educational attainment, he or she calculates the preconditions of solutions and subsequently designs, implements, and puts into working action information and communication technologies and systems of automated control of technological and manufacturing processes.
- A graduate brings software development tools into service when modelling manufacturing systems.
- He or she proves to be capable of sizing up techniques of fuzzy logic, machine and reinforcement learning, genetic algorithms and programming, evolutionary computation, and neural networks – inclusive of their quality of being appropriate of intelligent control.
- He or she recognizes software tools and consciously puts computing approaches of intelligent control into effect.
- He or she assesses any probable deviations pernicious to the handling of security-sensitive situations and takes apposite corrective measures.
- A graduate is, not only in theory, but also empirically, familiar with MATLAB and its components beyond the extent of fundamentals.
- Can process data and create documentations, overviews, and statistics proportionately to the technical norms and regulations as well as ethical and legal standards actual to the field of cybernetics for Process Automation and Informatization in Industry.
General competencies
- When solving assigned tasks, a graduate acts in a self-reliant manner.
- Applies analytical thinking patterns and adeptly presents his or her judgements and ideas.
- He or she possesses the ability to improve all qualifications gained up to a given point in time and educate oneself to a greater extent individually as well as in organised learning groups and courses.
- Competently collaborates in a group setting and, putting team management theories into practice, leads teams.
- Puts in an application his or her education as regards management, economics, law, ecology, and ethic while carrying out occupational duties.
- Presents himself or herself with a pioneering mindset and ideas.

labour market demand and CAREER PROSPECTs
- According to https://www.trendyprace.sk/sk/absolventi/moje-trendy/top, Process Automation and Informatization in Industry meets the market needs as the second most successful study programme (apart from other technology-based study programmes offered) in the Slovak Republic.
- A graduate is fit for immediate workforce inclusion in addition to being ready to move toward his or her doctoral studies. He or she makes use of information obtained during the course of the studies in scope of design, development, and implementation of automation control systems for industrial enterprises. Furthermore, he or she proves to be a vital part of projection modelling and research institutions for design of control and information systems intended for solving challenges of societal and industrial character. A graduate can pursue a career in the public administration and other economic sectors while also being suitable for engaging their abilities in the sphere of education.
- On the report of The Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic project, sk, graduates may seek following positions of employment: ICT project manager, computer operator, computer engineer, computer network technician, web designer, systems analyst, database administrator, database analyst, application developer, application programmer, data architect, data analyst, data scientist, machine learning engineer, CIO, ICT management and support technician, research and development manager, software developer, software solution designer, ICT support and test engineer, multimedia designer, business intelligence analyst, quality assurance analyst, process manager, PLC programmer, automation engineer.
