Forms of Teaching

Lectures

Students are presented with theoretical settings of selected topics intertwined with a multitude of practical examples.

Partial e-learning

Students have access to online tutorials designed to learn and master practical tasks.

Independent assignments

We encourage students to learn continuously by solving homework through a customized online platform and by creating several smaller projects in which they apply the knowledge acquired in the course.

Laboratory

Students discuss their own solutions to project tasks with subject teachers.
