Interesting facts about the faculty
100% employability of graduates in practice - after graduation, only those graduates who do not want to or cannot work for objective reasons do not work.
Connecting students with practice - partners from practice participate directly in teaching, not only in the form of lectures, but above all by leading the so-called clubs, which are implemented in the form of workshops. Thus, students participate in solving projects and assignments for practice, solve the topics of final theses in direct cooperation with practice, or obtain work positions with business practice partners.
Students already work during their studies - we support students to gain work experience already during their studies, so they have a higher chance of applying to the labor market in the future. Part of the study is professional practice, which they can complete with partners from practice, but also abroad as part of the Erasmus+ program, to which we send them throughout the year (not only during the holidays).

Our effort is to participate in the protection of the life of bees, whose importance in nature is irreplaceable.
