Acquired competences
Knowledge
Is familiar with the scientific principles and methods necessary for working in the field of information technology (mathematics, physics, other natural sciences).
Skills
Is able to apply his/her knowledge in practice, both individually and as part of a team.
Attitude
Strives to perform work efficiently and to a high standard. Is open to expanding their knowledge.
Autonomy and responsibilities
Is able to carry out assigned tasks independently.
Additional professional competences

Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
Students who have passed the Week 1 examination with at least 60% of the marks have obtained a signature in the subject. The others must score at least 60% on the two examinations ( total) to get a pass mark, and you can write a revision at the end, either or both exams.
Generative AI usage
Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
Study aids, laboratory background
Basic Mathematics study material in Moodle.
