The studies in Business Analytics at the Faculty of Economics UMCS are interdisciplinary. The course aims to provide students with comprehensive knowledge of business (e.g. Economics, Management, Marketing, Law, Finance, Accounting, e-business, Project Management), quantitative subjects (e.g. Calculus, Business Statistics, Econometrics) as well as analytical methods and tools (e.g. Data Mining, Big Data, Business Intelligence, Geographical Information Systems, Advanced Spreadsheets, Python Programming, Data Visualization, Database). Students will develop skills needed in an analyst's work (e.g. Analytical Project, Soft Skills and Communication Training, Business Simulation). The course is practical, i.e. to a large extent, it is based on the experience of business practitioners and problem-solving related to business practice. The course program covers a six- month work placement that allows students to gain professional practical experience during their studies. Students will be introduced, among others, to business simulations reflecting the dynamics of economic processes that will help them make decisions and observe results. The course's program draws on extensive use of online database available for the Faculty of Economics of UMCS.
The programme is dedicated mainly to international applicants. It aims to prepare staff for services in the tourism sector, one of the most rapidly developing branches in the world economy. The programme is designed to provide students with an understanding of tourist phenomena' diverse conditions in the varied natural and cultural environments. It also enables them to plan and organize different tourist activities and provide services related to tourist traffic.
The programme consists of two compulsory modules, which enable students to learn the tourism industry mechanisms and frame their organizational skills in the tourism domain. Apart from that, the programme offers elective modules targeted at the individual interests of students.
The programme, which draws on both natural and social sciences, can be described as multidisciplinary (diverse classes provide students with knowledge and abilities necessary for multidimensional perception of tourism phenomena and organizing of tourist activities in varied circumstances), flexible (enabling individual ways of development) and covering the broad cultural context.
International Relations is a programme for those who wish to combine a thirst for knowledge with personal development while also creating attractive future employment opportunities. We offer interdisciplinary study aimed especially at people interested in the world around them and the processes shaping it. International relations are activities, processes, and events of a transborder nature, which means they are not contained within states’ borders. Nowadays, globalization and integration processes require that anyone involved in politics, business, culture, or social life be familiar with international relations. Therefore, the demand for academic knowledge of the subject increases, translating into good prospects for attractive employment. Among the numerous work possibilities available for our graduates are diplomacy, international trade, international projects, and international organizations.
