The study program Visual Informatics prepares students to work with image information and spatial scene models that involve or touch areas such as computer graphics, image processing, visualization, computer vision, virtual and expanded reality, video processing, pattern recognition, human-computer communication, 3D modeling, animation, graphic design, and machine learning.

The graduate will find application in various fields, such as the development of graphics applications, simulators, computer games, applications for multimedia processing and analysis, visualization of data, virtual and enhanced reality or creation of the professional-level graphic design. For example, a graduate may be an analyst, graphic designer, application programmer, research or development team leader. The acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills allow them to thoroughly understand the problems solved and will make it possible in practice to use a wide range of modern technologies - from common mobile devices to dedicated systems with high computing power.

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.
• Fulfil requirements of at least one specialization.

Compulsory subjects of the program

Specialization: Computer Graphics and Visualization

Computer Graphics and Visualization specialization offers the latest knowledge of informatics as well as the knowledge from the dynamically progressing area of computer graphics and its development based on interdisciplinary activities and use in other scientific fields. Students will be acquainted with the principles of graphics architectures, mathematical methods used to solve challenging imaging tasks. The studies provide students with a more in-depth knowledge focused on the design and implementation of software applications using advanced computer graphics technologies.
