About the programme
The Applied Informatics doctoral programme aims to prepare students for both basic and applied research in informatics in relation to other scientific disciplines, which are regarded as a constructive source of inspiration for research and the development of new structures and algorithms, including their subsequent implementation. The key subjects of doctoral students’ theoretical preparation include theoretical informatics, selected areas of numerical methods, mathematical statistics, and the modelling of physical, chemical, biological, biomedical, and economic phenomena. Doctoral students are guided to present their research results at international conferences and to publish in professional journals focused on informatics and application fields.
Career prospects
Graduates gain sufficient experience for a successful career in academia and in research institutions. They are qualified to apply the latest scientific results from informatics as well as from related research fields. They are capable of identifying the core of a given problem, conducting research into possible solutions, and designing new and effective approaches using advanced methods and tools of informatics. When implementing a system or its key components, graduates are able to critically assess its performance and subsequently publish original solution methods in peer-reviewed journals.
Graduates have mastered research methodologies and developed critical thinking skills, which allow them to apply their knowledge and abilities in the implementation of modern information systems. They can pursue careers as researchers in academia or as information technology experts in industries and organizations that rely on mathematical models, numerical methods, statistical analysis, mathematical logic, and specialized programming techniques to solve practical problems. Typical applications include methods of data mining, modeling of complex technological, biomedical, or economic systems, and studying the dynamics of their performance in critical conditions using advanced information technologies.
