Specialization
Specialisations are curricula that set out the conditions for graduation, such as compulsory courses.
Image Analysis and Processing
The specialization provides a comprehensive overview of image information acquisition and processing, starting with simple image modifications using point transformations or linear filters and ending with sophisticated tools such as mathematical morphology or deformable models. Graduates will find particular application in the development and deployment of image processing systems in a wide variety of fields, e.g. for use in medicine, biology, meteorological and geographical data processing, biometric applications, etc.
Graphic design
The specialisation offers education in graphic design and related disciplines, in collaboration with the Atelier of Graphic Design and Multimedia (AGD+M). The studio focuses mainly on digital media, which are nowadays replacing print media to a greater extent. In terms of mastering quality graphic design, the problem is the same, but digital media open up new possibilities in communicating with the consumer. For these media, a concurrent computer science education of students is essential and is developed in the study of the specialisation. Students work on topics such as game development and interactive information graphics, application development for interactive media, generative design programming, animation, video, 3D digital modelling and 3D printing, e-publishing, web design or font creation.
The Graphic Design curriculum has a limited capacity of 40 students.

Creating fonts is like speaking in different voicesThere aren't many people in the country who create type for newspapers, magazines or other purposes and still make a living at it. FI graduate David Březina is one of them.
Computer graphics and visualization
The specialization offers the study of general knowledge of computer science and the latest findings in the dynamically developing field of computer graphics and its development on the basis of interdisciplinary interaction and use in other disciplines. Students will learn the principles of graphical architecture construction, mathematical methods used for solving challenging imaging problems. The discipline provides in-depth knowledge focused on the design and implementation of software applications using advanced computer graphics technologies.
Computer Game Development
The specialization gives students a comprehensive insight into how to create the graphical aspects of contemporary multimedia entertainment software; students will learn about modern modelling, imaging or animation techniques, not only in the context of classical 2D and 3D imaging, but also in the context of virtual or augmented reality.
