The follow-up master’s study programme of BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATICS (the title awarded is Ing.) corresponds to current requirements of industrial practice by connecting the study of knowledge with skills in the following areas:

• Economics and management

• Industrial management

• Informatics

As it is a professional study programme, the emphasis is placed, apart from theoretical teaching, on practical engineering training in industrial enterprises with global footprint. Within the study, this takes place in the form of:

• Engineering practice in specific industrial enterprises

• Lectures given by experts from practice

• Excursions in facilities of industrial enterprises

Apart from practical education in the field, it enables students to obtain experience in interpersonal communication and project management in real conditions.

In their subjects teachers make use of modern interactive methods and attitudes (simulations, demonstrations) and put emphasis on connecting theoretical and practical skills. In their subjects they also often use case studies or interactive management games so that students can understand the issues in detail and acquire disciplines and skills necessary for every manager working in international environment.

Within the framework of profile subjects, students acquire a deeper knowledge in a well-balanced combination of the following fields:

• Economics and management: Management economics, International management and Impacts of financial modeling on corporate accounting, Basics of management and Business science

• Industrial Management: Production organization and management II, Supply chain management and Quality management statistical methods II.

• Informatics: Data engineering, Development of information systems, Business system information analysis and Business informatics management

• Theoretical informatics: Basics of cybernetics and Theoretical basics of MI informatics

Students acquire practical managerial skills not only within the framework of the compulsory professional engineering practice at domestic or foreign industrial companies with global reach, but also through teaching. As part of this, students regularly meet with experts from practice, undergo skills training in the top Lean training centre of Škoda Auto a.s., or participate in regular excursions to leading industrial manufacturers. Practical experience is further developed during the preparation and defence of a diploma thesis, which, like the compulsory engineering practice, is focused on issues directly related to the study programme.
Thanks to the Erasmus+ programme, students can spend a semester or two at one of the school's more than 60 partner universities. Škoda Auto Vysoká škola also offers other very interesting projects outside Erasmus+ in destinations such as India, South Korea, Vietnam, Israel and the USA to gain foreign experience.
The study programme is designed for graduates of bachelor's degree programmes in economics and technology, especially IT-oriented ones.
The follow-up Master's degree programme in Business Economics and Management Informatics is a continuation of the Bachelor's degree programme in Business Economics and Management Informatics implemented at the School of Business Administration and is open to graduates of identical or related degree programmes of other universities and degree programmes in the field of informatics.
Complete information on the admission procedure and the conditions required for admission can be found HERE.

The study programme of Business Administration and Management Informatics educates professionals who have competencies for management and decision-making in the current market environment both at the theoretical level and at the applied level thanks to professional engineering training and practically oriented subjects. Within the framework of economic and management subjects the study programme covers all key aspects for creating values of business entities, particularly in conditions of mechanical engineering or, to be more precise, in automotive industry.

The graduate of the follow-up master’s study programme of Business Administration and Management Informatics has knowledge and skills in economics and management, industrial management and informatics.

The fields of general economics and management comprise knowledge and skills of theoretical and applied economic and management sciences, like management economics, management focusing on international business environment and innovations, financial management and corporate accounting, which enable the graduate to understand, evaluate and use the correct terminology to communicate theoretical and practical aspects of business in the environment of market economy.

The field of industrial management encompasses knowledge and skills of the most recent concepts, instruments and methods of production and logistics management, quality management and industrial information technology enabling the graduate to analyse, evaluate, improve, plan and manage processes of an industrial enterprise at the tactical and strategic levels of management. Furthermore, the attention is paid to the complex planning and production management and their resources, the holistic conception of managing logistics activities within the framework of supply chain, increasing the quality of business processes and the use of modern information and communication technologies within the framework of effective business management and its supply chain.

The management informatics is the field which comprises knowledge and skills from the area of information technology application in business information systems. The skills further include the creation of concepts and developments of information system, the enterprise database management and the related fields of data engineering, the information technology application in concepts and innovations of the business system and also the extended field of business informatics management. These professional competencies in the field of informatics are completed by the knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and automatic steering.

The graduate of the study programme can also work with computer at advanced level, effectively use available software applications and work with modern communication and information technologies. The graduate is able to clearly and understandably formulate his/her ideas and communicate them in English language, in oral as well as in written form. Moreover, the graduate has extensive social competencies consisting particularly in effective communication and presentation skills, the ability to cooperate and work in a team and problem and conflict solving.
