The objective of the study programme is to prepare highly qualified specialists and researchers in the area of:
1) electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering with specialization in systems analysis, modelling and design; or
2) mathematics with specialization in applied mathematics and mathematical modelling or probability and mathematical statistics, who are able to carry out state of the art research and solve complex real-life problems.
Tasks of the study programme:
- to prepare students for independent research work in academia and industry;
- to promote knowledge transfer to industry;
- to develop the individual abilities of students and to provide a stimulating environment;
- to strengthen abilities of continuous self-development of knowledge and professional skills;
- to develop critical, analytical and systematically thinking and to develop collaborative skills;
- to explain and advocate the role of computer science and information technology in society.
Graduates work as leading information technology specialists in the areas of system analysis, design, computer control and modelling as well as applied mathematics and statistics. They work at higher education institutions, research centres and enterprises in Latvia and abroad.
