The modular program will enable flexible adjustment of the university’s educational offer to the expectations of a wide group of beneficiaries - graduates of first and second-degree studies of various faculties in technical and social sciences. A complementary goal is to develop recommendations for
the improvement of the postgraduate education process in relation to the educational and supporting processes, including administrative ones.
