follow-up master's program (Czech) with specializations
The Artificial Intelligence and Data Processing program prepares students to work in the areas of design and development of intelligent systems and analysis of big data. These areas are currently undergoing very fast development and are becoming increasingly important. The program leads students to a thorough understanding of basic theoretical concepts and methods. During the study students also solve specific case studies to familiarize themselves with the currently used tools and technologies. Students will thus gain experience that will allow them to immediately use the current state of knowledge in practice, as well as solid foundations, which will enable them to continue to independently follow the developments in the field. The program is divided into four specializations that provide deeper knowledge in a chosen direction. Specializations share a common core, where students learn the most important mathematical, algorithmic, and technological aspects of the field. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence specialization lead graduates to gain in-depth knowledge of machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques and to gain experience with their practical application. Natural Language Processing specialization prepares graduates to work with natural languages (eg. Czech, English) in written and spoken form from the perspective of computer science. Data Management and Analysis specialization focus on data science, which creates value from big data by collecting, exploring, interpreting, and presenting data from different viewpoints with the goal of so-called business intelligence. Bioinformatics and Systems Biology specialization focuses on computational methods for automated analysis of large biological data and on creating predictive models of biological processes with the goal to better understand complex biological systems.
Due to the dynamic development of the area, the graduates have a wide range of career opportunities, with specific employment positions being created continuously during the course of their studies. Examples of different types of possible positions: positions in applied and basic research, typically concerning extensive data processing, often also in collaboration with experts from other disciplines such as biology or linguistics; positions in companies with an immediate interest in artificial intelligence and data processing (e.g., Seznam, Google) such as Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer; positions in companies that have extensive, valuable data (such as banking, telecom operators) or companies focusing on cloud data analysis, e.g., Business Intelligence Analyst or Data Analyst; graduates can also start their own start-up specializing in the use of artificial intelligence methods in a particular area.

follow-up master's program (Czech) with specializations
The study program develops unique competence profile of the student based on the intersection of multiple areas of knowledge that are relevant for managing the development of software systems and services, as well as cybersecurity management. A specific feature is a focus on strategic and operational management related to the targeting, design, implementation, and operation of software systems and services within the context of organizations and different types with a possible focus on their safe operation or IT services. In addition to developing basic theoretical and technological knowledge and practical developmental skills acquired in the bachelor's study, the content of the follow-up study is extended by other dimensions such as theories and practices of team, project and process management, communication, soft skills and knowledge essential to functioning in economic relations - the basics of marketing, law and others, which especially (but not only) concerns the specialization of service development. The cybersecurity study takes into account aspects of overlapping computer data processing outside of tightly defined system perimeters (e.g. impacting on critical infrastructure), thus enabling a specific multidisciplinary overlap of technical, social and legal aspects in this area.
The graduates find employment in companies and organizations of different sizes and orientation, but they also get the motivation and the possibility of basic preparation for their own innovative business. The strong competitive advantage of the program graduates is the ability to solve complex management-related problems of the development of systems and services for which they can use the acquired skills by the study. Their potential is predestined to hold managerial positions, such as the Chief Information Officer (CIO), project manager, and risk manager. Graduates of the cybersecurity management specialization will find application primarily in companies and institutions that need specialists able to work with relevant coordinating institutions and ensure the management of cybersecurity processes. These are positions as a cybersecurity manager and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Requirements for successful graduation
- Obtain at least 120 credits overall and pass the final state exam.
- Obtain 20 credits from SDIPR subject and successfully defend Master's Thesis. See more details.
- Pass all the compulsory and elective courses of the program and selected specialization with the highest possible graduation form.

Specialization: Service Development Management
Services Development Management specialization follows the current large shift from the traditional paradigm of IT design to IT as a service and from product-oriented economy to service-oriented one. Problems and tasks in IT are becoming more complex and the knowledge of IT technology is not sufficient for solving them. A multidisciplinary view is the core of this specialization. Students will gain not only sound IT knowledge (programming, databases, computer security, networks, etc.), but also the skills necessary to understand problems in their complexity (marketing, management, finance or law) as well as necessary communication competencies.

follow-up master's program (English) with specializations
- English
- prof. RNDr. Tomáš Pitner, Ph.D.
The study program develops unique competence profile of the student based on the intersection of multiple areas of knowledge that are relevant for managing the development of software systems and services, as well as cybersecurity management. A specific feature is a focus on strategic and operational management related to the targeting, design, implementation, and operation of software systems and services within the context of organizations and different types with a possible focus on their safe operation or IT services. In addition to developing basic theoretical and technological knowledge and practical developmental skills acquired in the bachelor's study, the content of the follow-up study is extended by other dimensions such as theories and practices of team, project and process management, communication, soft skills and knowledge essential to functioning in economic relations - the basics of marketing, law and others, which especially (but not only) concerns the specialization of service development. The cybersecurity study takes into account aspects of overlapping computer data processing outside of tightly defined system perimeters (e.g. impacting on critical infrastructure), thus enabling a specific multidisciplinary overlap of technical, social and legal aspects in this area.
The graduates find employment in companies and organizations of different sizes and orientation, but they also get the motivation and the possibility of basic preparation for their own innovative business. The strong competitive advantage of the program graduates is the ability to solve complex management-related problems of the development of systems and services for which they can use the acquired skills by the study. Their potential is predestined to hold managerial positions, such as the Chief Information Officer (CIO), project manager, and risk manager. Graduates of the cybersecurity management specialization will find application primarily in companies and institutions that need specialists able to work with relevant coordinating institutions and ensure the management of cybersecurity processes. These are positions as a cybersecurity manager and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Requirements for successful graduation
- Obtain at least 120 credits overall and pass the final state exam.
- Obtain 20 credits from SDIPR subject and successfully defend Master's Thesis. See more details.

Specialization: Service Development Management
Services Development Management specialization follows the current large shift from the traditional paradigm of IT design to IT as a service and from product-oriented economy to service-oriented one. Problems and tasks in IT are becoming more complex and the knowledge of IT technology is not sufficient for solving them. A multidisciplinary view is the core of this specialization. Students will gain not only sound IT knowledge (programming, databases, computer security, networks, etc.), but also the skills necessary to understand problems in their complexity (marketing, management, finance or law) as well as necessary communication competencies.

Basic knowledge of linear algebra, probability theory, programming in Python - Goals:
This is an introductory course to quantum information. The main goal is to provide students with basic idea what are the expected applications of quantum information processing, how quantum computing and communication works, and give them practical experience how to program quantum computer. All programming will be performed using Python language and IBM Quiskit library.
As a part of the course we want students to become comfortable with basic mathematics necessary for quantum information processing. While you already know almost all necessary mathematics from prerequisite courses, there is a big difference between knowing something and being able to use it an intuitive and efficient way.
The course is designed in the way that it introduces in a parallel way basic quantum information applications, necessary mathematical concepts and teaches how to implement these applications on quantum computers. As an example, on second lecture you will learn about BB84 quantum key distribution. On this concept we will explain what quantum state is, what is a quantum measurement, and we will learn how to implement BB84 using the Quiskit Python library. In this way we avoid boring monothematical blocks of mathematics.
This course will be in future followed by two advanced courses. The second course will introduce all necessary concepts of quantum information processing – necessary concepts from mathematics, physics and informatics, so that student will have all theoretical knowledge necessary to work with quantum information processing. The third course will explain the applications of quantum information processing in full scale – communication, algorithms, cryptography, NP-approximation, machine learning, simulation of physical and chemical systems. - Learning outcomes: After completing the course, a student
- will be able to implement simple quantum programs using the IBM Quiskit library
- will know basic applications of quantum information processing
- and will be able to program them using the IBM Quiskit library
- will be able to perform basic mathematical calculations necessary for quantum information processing applications
- Syllabus: More detailed syllabus is provided in the study materials, namely in the Interactive syllabi.
- Quantum information processing, tools and applications.
- Existing quantum technologies (IBM, Toshiba, Google, Microsoft, D-wawe, Qusoft, idQuantique), Chinese backbone quantum network, quantum satellites.

The students will be familiarized with the writing of topic sentences, thesis statements, and coherent and cohesive paragraphs. The students will practice these steps of the writing process via in-class writing, text analysis, and written homework. Focus is placed on elegant and clear style rather than the frequently needlessly complex and obtrusive style of many non-native speakers. While some grammatical aspects of English used in the academia will be touched upon in the class (e.g. the passive voice), the course is not a language class and those not familiar with given grammar will need to improve their knowledge sufficient for class purposes through external means.
- Learning outcomes: Students will become familiar with the basics of academic writing in English. They will be able to tell apart a poorly-written text from a well-written one and will be able to use frequent features of academic language (e.g. the passive voice, complex sentence structure, nominalizations, ...) in a proper way. Finally, students will understand the importance of coherence and cohesion in English academic writing.

From sublunar steps to the first big jump into the supralunar world.
What, and how, is reality? Is its adequate clue empirism, or rationalism?
Encyclopedia as a product of Enlightenment.
Hume's skepsis over causality. Laws and probability.
Physiocratism as a projection of an "harmonic order", at the same time as a first model application in economics.
The positivist experiment in trying to change the world by the force of ideas. The initial variants of physicalism.
Problem of humanities at the end of 19-th century. (Is it possible to apply the natural-science criteria in humanities?)
"Rationally" fighting "fiction", or does the invisible exist?
Einstein's and Planck's shade.
An awkward look back and forward on the threshold of the third millennium.
The beginning of the philosophy of science.

Can we aspire to overcome solipsism? (Berkeley.) Is not all thinking only a "rather complicated" reaction to external stimuli? (From Pavlov to Skinner.)
Intentionality (its Dennett version). Can we speak about the "specificity" of the human mind? (Is it given by "consciousness"? Searle's solution of the problem.

The prerequisite for enrolling in the course is passing the examination in English (VB001) - Goals: Writing a thesis is frequently a long and arduous process and even more so when it has to be written in a language other than the author’s primary language. Therefore, this course is aimed at helping students who are in their last semester of studies to finish writing their theses. The course is separated into two tracks – a class track and an individual track. During the former, students attend six classes with the instructor and focus on the process of writing a thesis; the track will cover not only common grammar mistakes, but also the academic writing style or the mechanics of writing a thesis. The individual track has students write portions of their theses and then meet with the instructor on scheduled dates in order to receive feedback on their writing. There will be at least three individual sessions, each lasting 25-30 minutes. Students may be required to submit additional grammar and vocabulary exercises during both tracks.
- Learning outcomes: The course gives students a thorough insight into the mechanics of academic writing in English. Students will learn to identify and correct frequent mistakes in academic writing made by both native and non-native speakers in English. In addition, students will also gain insight into common stylistic issues made in the field of computer science. Finally, the course should provide students with guidance and information important for a successful completion of a thesis in English language.
